Peter Primamore - Grancia
- Peter Primamore’s Grancia is a majestic union of orchestra instruments such as the violin, cello, harp as well as woodwinds, that encompass a beguiling album that will evoke any sensation a listener chooses to awaken.
“Silver Stones” is a colorful track that begins with piano, then percussion slowly melts into the woodwork along with guitar for an easy-going tune. The instruments blend together unerringly and the slight tempo changes flow flawlessly.
“Chatham” continues with the piano, which is played effortlessly by one of the Grancia band’s 13 players, as if he or she was born to tickle its ivories. Later on, violin work is introduced and the joining of the two instruments is breathtakingly classy.
“Crossing Over” is a pertinent title for this song which leans on the more sullen side. It has harp play but its luminescence gives off a sadness, and the woodwinds that accompany it are played with a note of gloom. It’s a song that could be heard at a funeral or in a motion picture where the deceased is going to the “other side,” but in a peaceful way.
“Mill Walk” has more piano play but the notes are on the low side and cello, percussion and guitar are also included. It’s a song that is passionate with its intensity, but also subdued, given the other instruments utilized.
“Broken Promise” is another appropriate title as the violin player burns fire and utter sorrow. The powerful feelings generated through this track are enough to make a listener bewail at the though of what was felt when this song was written.
“The Book of Erin Flowers” brings back the piano and conjures the image of a woman sitting alone in a room, thinking back to yesterday and the memorable events in her life all the way up to present.
“Free Western” brings sprightly violin play with an orchestra build-up that is electrifying. Then, guitar adds to the fast-paced feeling, and a get down rhythm comes to the forefront and drums complete the cunning pace.
“Windswept” is yet another suitable title for a song that has harp, piano and is a gentle song. The piano has a jazzy flow to it and the percussion and guitar let out a rock feel, but delicately.
Peter Primamore’s Grancia, is an orchestra lovers dream and has fortuitous instrument play and bold ripples. If you are an admirer of instrumental music, this album will fit your every mood, happy, sad or otherwise.
