First of all, this is what Sean said* on the '5 CD's From Quartet' thread..
By: GoblinScore (Member)
I'm happy to report that Donaggio's ABITATO Is beyond stunningly gorgeous - just 40-odd minutes of piano & string nostalgia with no interruption. No pop, action and barely any cue above 'piano' (dynamic). It is not just a typical, mopey Eureopean Album and not boring however, just 'pure' Pino doing what he's best at. Highest marks, this will see a lot of play here at Melancholy Manor. Packaging is a stinker, just a single blurry photo and tech credits on the outside. It's OK this time since the score is worth it.
Best Donaggio in ages,
Sean
-----------------------
I agree, it is very lovely, delicate and contemplative music and a real mood setter, BUT!!!
To me, it's NOT like Pino Donaggio music at all.
Normally, his style is unmistakeable, be it thriller, romance, action or drama.
If someone had put this CD on for me and asked me to guess, I would have gone for a new score by Philippe Rombi or maybe Gabriel Yared? before Donaggio. Not sure I'd have even guessed Pino.
But yeah, it is quite lovely, in a quiet, understated way.
*pretty much the only comment about it.
