Massimo Aiello - Tribute To Beethoven

 

by Lorenzo Casaccia

 

Massimo Aiello is a neapolitan drummer active since the 80’s in a variety of contexts (from avant-garde concerts to session-man for singer-songwriters, from the theatre’s music to the carry out of  teaching material).

This CD (subtitled Drum in the Symphony no. 9) backing up his more ambitious project, presented in live shows since the 1987. It’s essentially a long drums solo on the base of the Beethoven’s Ninth: a project that immediately appears as pharaohnic, but that is carried out with modesty and a certain sense of mesure. Aiello accentuate obviously the rhythmical aspect of the original, arriving to a result that reminds me the mixing classic-rock of James Last. The recording on a CD doesn’t give total justice to an idea that we want to imagine more fascinating in live, with a drums in complete solitude that follow a colossal opera.
