The new album of the Napolitan CO is the 1st one on Prikosnovenie.

Volonta dArte has been described as the meeting of the most beautiful Napolitan female voices and an exceptional classical-medieval guitarist. This introduction although the genius of Riccardo Prencipe is much more than exceptional. This artist is a real talented musician, composing emotional and refined music with classical guitar and medieval lute. He has been joined by different female guest vocalist (known from their involvement into bands like Ashram, Spiritual Front, Dwelling, Argine and Lupercalia). The best fusion is the one with singer and actress Caterina Pontrandolfo who sings on 3 songs. These songs belong to the best part of the album, but especially Cantastorie (opening the album) and Kunstwollen are little jewels! The opening song reaches a climax where the refined and sensitive content of the music joins the angelic and sensual timbre of voice of Caterina.

CO has been defined as medieval which is true for a while, but the minimal folk content might also remind to Dead Can Dance in a more authentic way. The violin and guitar parts are from an extreme beauty, leading the listener in world of reverie. Songs like Puteolanum and Cuma reveal this magical violin play. The piano is another main instrument finding his own climax on the instrumental La pioggia sui tasti-song, which reminds the soundtrack music of The piano-movie. A last cut is My harbour with Sergio Panarella of Ashram on vocals. The acoustic guitar parts are here the most essential element of the music while the rougher vocals perfectly fits.

This album is nothing else than a masterpiece!
