The contents of this release, which landed on classical best-seller lists in the autumn of 2023, are a bit different from what the graphics suggest. The Postcards from Italy title might connote a light crossover or pop atmosphere, and the presence of a saxophone seems to indicate heavily arranged music designed to highlight the soloist, soprano saxophonist Marco Albonetti. Certainly, listeners in search of mellow saxophone music will enjoy the album, but there is also a lot here to interest serious fans of film music. For one thing, Albonetti's program focuses closely on just two composers, Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota. There is one piece by the arranger here, Paolo Silvestri, and one by saxophonist Gato Barbieri, an excerpt from the Last Tango in Paris soundtrack; otherwise, it is all Morricone and Rota. One is struck by the difference in style between the two giants. Morricone builds his atmospheric constructions from simple material, stated at the beginning of a cut, while Rota draws on a range of materials, many of them of popular origin. Hear the Love Theme from The Godfather, which takes on new resonances in this context. Further, the saxophone arrangements are less of an alteration than they may seem; the saxophone generally just takes up the main melody of the piece. Chandos engineers, working at the Forum Studios in Rome, drench the sound in close-up sentiment, which works well considering the material. Ultimately, Albonetti sets a mood and explores it thoroughly on an album that may be recommended to listeners of various kinds.
