Lorenzo De Antiquis' latest album, Povera Maria Teresa La Studentessa Sepolta Viva, is a mesmerizing journey through Italian history and culture. The album tells the story of Maria Teresa, a young student who was buried alive in the 19th century, and De Antiquis' haunting vocals and intricate instrumentation create an eerie and evocative atmosphere that perfectly captures the tragic tale.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Il Canto della Luna," which features De Antiquis' soaring vocals over a sparse, haunting piano melody. The track builds to a crescendo with the addition of strings and percussion, creating a powerful and emotional climax.
Another highlight is "La Ballata di Maria Teresa," which tells the story of the titular character's life and tragic death. De Antiquis' vocals are particularly affecting on this track, conveying the sorrow and pain of Maria Teresa's story with raw emotion.
