The Best of Paolo Conte

by: Paolo Conte

Release Date July 12, 1999
I bought this album completely blind, not knowing anything about it or Paolo Conte. I would never have believed how much I would end up liking this album. It is quite querky and has a very unusual style, a bit of everything really. You can really appreciate the skill of the musicians on this and often the arrangements involve a huge number of instruments at once which works tremendously well. Paolo's vocals are spot on. There are some real 'gems' on here - little snippets of music that are sheer genius. The music has quite a free style and I like the fact that you get the odd note that has slightly off timing as you can sense the players are enjoying it immensely. One of these that you have to just give it a try.

The Best of Paolo Conte

by: Paolo Conte

Release Date October 01, 1999
Paolo Conte has been dubbed the "Tom Waits" of Italy but he is much much more than this. With his deep cigarette-grazed voice his songs speak of far-away places as well as his local Caffe. Followed by a full jazz-set, trumpets, saxophone, bandoleone, Paolo Conte fills the air with a wonderful melancholy, a melancholy which recalls cold afternoons huddled in, thinking back on life.

This specific album is a nice collection, although it does not contain my ever-favourite song, "Gli Impermeabili"... so between the two Best Of's, I recommend "The Best Of Paolo Conte" released in July 5th, 1999 -

Concerti

by: Paolo Conte

Release Date January 13, 1986
This album is full of fantastic arrangements of many of Conte's classics. This is a record full of charming, humorous, and dramatic twists. The songs bring to life atmospheres, and flavours of long ago.

Elegia

by: Paolo Conte

Release Date March 07, 2005
Having played my copy of "the very best of" to death, I thought I'd see what this new recording had to offer.

Yes it has all of Contes usual style (and wit) and is very likeable as musical wallpaper, it won't be getting the same airtime in my car as the other CD.

OK if you want to expand your familiarity with his work but definitely not his best.

The Best of Paolo Conte

by: Paolo Conte

Release Date October 25, 1996
I bought The Best of Paolo Conte after seeing him play on Parkinson (had never heard of him before) and then was lucky enough to see him perform in Los Angeles where I live last week. Absolutely outstanding. The lights came up and the band kept playing - audience was dancing in the aisles - unheard of in american audiences. Buy this album, put it in your car and you'll be the happiest person on the road. Can't recommend it highly enough.
