Maurizio Guarini - A Goblin’s Chamber

The pressing quality is excellent, capturing the warmth of the piano and the bowing of the strings with remarkable clarity. Hearing Guarini’s own spin on classic Goblin themes through this chamber ensemble gives the music a haunting, new life. I’ve already listened to side A three times today.

The piano-and-string-quartet arrangements breathe new life into tracks I’ve known for decades, and the vinyl’s quiet pressing lets every bow stroke and key hit shine. It’s the kind of record that makes you sit down and listen straight through, not just spin in the background.

Hearing Goblin classics reimagined with classical strings gives these old tracks a surprising new depth. The pressing is clean and quiet, letting the piano really shine on side A.
