The title of this years Antonio Forcione show ‘Tears of Joy’ is quite apt in that, that was exactly how I felt at seeing the concert. The previous 24 hours had been hell and I wasn’t really up for reviewing a show I’d have to concentrate too much for. Having been to one of his solo concerts before I knew roughly what to expect. Antonio is joined on stage by four other musicians a cellist, an accordion player, a double-bassist and a percussionist. The resulting variety of music was an absolute pleasure to listen to. If the mood took you the show would have been as enjoyable listening to the pictures painted by the sounds. However Adriano the percussionist was also fascinating to watch, it is amazing the items he uses to make interesting sounds. He also did a short choral piece using the audience. An excellent, exciting, exhilarating, musical experience. ****
