Our Lady of Perpetual Obsolescence Vinyl Rescue Mission and Orphanage

We implore you to witness the spectacle of Idalgo Ferri kicking the ass of an ocarina. Specifically the ‘Italian’ type of ocarina described here (this article is also contains the only web reference to Mr. Ferri we were able to find). The recording features a variety of light music that showcases Mr. Ferri’s virtuosity on the instrument. He is accompanied by a modest group consisting of piano, electric bass, and drums, who lay down a simple but rock solid foundation. Occasionally a concertina is brought in to share melodic duties. Highlights on the album include the Brazilian rhythms of ‘Tico Tico’, Mozart’s ‘Alla Turca’ set to a polka-like beat, and the frantic ‘L’Allodola’ which opens side one. As the fractured English liner notes so eloquently state, “All praise for Professor Idalgo Ferri for his excellent performance concerning this special long player!” Have fun listening and as always, Enjoy!
