Robert Browning - Il Pifferaio Di Hamelin

Review by Welington Luiz Sgubin

Il Pifferaio Di Hamelin by Robert Browning is a captivating album that tells the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin through a collection of poems set to music. The album is performed by a talented ensemble of musicians who bring the tale to life with their evocative instrumentation and haunting vocals.

The album opens with "The Pied Piper of Hamelin," a poem that sets the stage for the story of a town plagued by rats and the mysterious piper who comes to their rescue. The music perfectly captures the eerie and ominous tone of the poem, with haunting melodies played on the flute and eerie percussion adding to the sense of foreboding.

As the story unfolds, the music becomes more complex and dynamic, with intricate arrangements that reflect the twists and turns of the plot. The ensemble is particularly impressive on tracks like "The Children of Hamelin," where they use a mix of instruments to create a sense of chaos and confusion as the townspeople realize that their children have been lured away by the piper.

Throughout the album, Browning's poetry is beautifully rendered by the musicians, with each track offering a new insight into the story of the Pied Piper. The album ends with "The Piper's Return," a haunting instrumental piece that brings the story full circle.
