“Aria” is a very good album, with two different sides: the first only contains the long title track, a dreamy suite starting with acoustic guitar and based on the instrument-like voice of Sorrenti, and culminating in the final part with a memorable violin solo by Jean-Luc Ponty. Side 2 is softer, with three tracks, two of which (“Vorrei incontrarti”) also appeared as a single. The album was successful in Italy, and Alan Sorrenti was one of the few solo artists to compete with other prog groups in the open air festivals of the time. The album was also released abroad, but to little success.

Sorrenti´s voice can be very irritating first time hearing it, but when You get used to it, so maybe......it´s just a matter of taste. I like it.
The very first issue of Aria had a textured heavy gatefold cover, and is difficult to find, while much common later issues (since around 1973) had a smooth thinner cover. RECOMMENDED
