Höstsonaten* – Autumnsymphony (Part II Of SeasonCycle Suite)

Autumnsymphony is again instrumental aside from wordless female vocals on one track. This is very much a symphony performed with prog rock instrumentation as well as violin, viola, cello, flute, trumpet, oboe, and more. There is lots of Mellotron and touches of the ambient jazz one can hear in Zuffanti’s other recent projects. It all feels late autumn, leaves off the trees, heading into winter, as the mood is very melancholy and often somber. The way Zuffanti blends the classical and rock elements is seamless and very sophisticated.
