Angi Schiliro's "White Lady" from 1992


After posting two metal albums, here is my next non-film score review of Angi Schiliro's "White Lady" - referring to his ivory Stratocaster lady. At every speed & degree of softness & power, all of these finely crafted songs are pure beauty. Known as a member of Stormbringer, Paganini, Zero and Kingdom Come, Italian guitarist Angi Schiliro has also written songs for China and his music appears in such film soundtracks as "Mona Lisa" and "The Fourth Protocol". "White Lady" is the guitarist's 1992 solo CD, featuring 9 instrumental tracks with a mix of rock, metal & neo-classical pieces. Slow ballad to faster segments, the album could be a film score. As Schiliro writes in the liner notes, "This album is pure, timeless music, created with the hope that there are enough people out there who still know the meaning of the word. In every song, I've tried to capture the atmosphere, mood and feelings of situations and of my soul, never concerning myself with the speed of the guitar solo. I have tried to let my guitar sing, scream, talk, cry, tell, run, fly and gently weep - like humans do. In keeping with the special language and expression of the guitar, you can't help but fall in love with its beauty."

And in the hands of a master like this you truly get timeless guitar beauty of the highest degree.

This album is available from Guitar9.com as a rare re-release. So if you're convinced, and I know you are, go pay the paltry amount for the CD and crank it up!
