about

The unique voice in rock that is CORDE OBLIQUE is already well primed by the time of this mature second effort. Riccardo Prencipe, skilled composer and guitarist, surrounds himself with fully engaged hired singers and musicians for this entrancing blend of classical, medieval/mediterranean folk, and rock. It's worth having a look at the numerous you tube clips of this "group" to gain insight into the synergy which upon which he insists and depends.
