by Stefania Clerici

The returns, especially after a dark period, are the most successful when you have something beautiful to tell: Samuele Bersani is again on tour after defeating a lung cancer at the first stage and with the'Autheticity Which distinguishes him does not fear to open up and tell himself on the stage of the theater, to his audience.

After the first date Sold out At the Regio di Parma last week, he arrives in Milan at the Arcimboldi to re -propose the live tour that was scheduled last November but which due to the sudden disease had to stop abruptly. But the warmth of the audience and its loyal, received widely in digital form in recent months, has transformed into a felt applause From the first minutes of Samuele on stage, that visibly excitedhe thanked everyone for being so close to him, despite the physical distance.

The disease, the stop, the recovery

“I am very reserved and since I did not do interviews with anyone on this, I preferred to wait for the concerts to arrive to tell it, so also to be a little help to those who live a similar period. I had lung cancer, first stadium. The first stage means that they arrived in time, I had to do neither chemo nor radio, but I had to have a piece of lung removed myself (and indicates it on his chest) which for my profession is not that it is the best … “.

In addition to sharing his experience, Bersani recalled The importance of preventionsending A positive message: “The lesson I learned is that You can do everything, but you have to go without being afraid of what can happen. Because then we are much stronger than we believe. And I am a testimony of success. Not only me, there were others before me who stumbled upon this problem. And they also gave me the strength. Here you are, Because the strength between us is given When these things happen. “

A renewed past

Since the first pieces, the Arcimboldi and its audience have immersed themselves in an atmosphere warm and welcoming, in which the classics of the Romagna singer -songwriter have found a new life, thanks to unique orchestral arrangements, Renewed, with imaginative flickers and that amaze, opening the imagination towards other worlds and sound genres.

Here arrives when you don't expect the dance of the arches, or even the delicacy of the winds, and then amazed with percussion and guitars that color the atmosphere in a new harmony. Samuele Bersani's voice, always balanced and intense, It marks well the texts of his pieces, poems in music that thanks to the inevitable lectern Always in front of him (joking, he says that the decline of memory has hit him since his first album), they gradually acquire a powerful meaning, revealing hidden shades in the new arrangements.

The setlist to the Arcimboldi

A dip in the past of 30 years of songwriter: it starts with The monster, The piece he presented Bersani to his teacher, mentor and supporter Lucio Dallawhich is remembered in several points of the live, and then fly on more known songs such as Crack And The non -voting scrutineer. Between one song and the other the narrative dimensions change and plays of light they draw always different paintings, as on Barcarola Albanese And Harakiri or again Your memory and the beloved En and Xanax. Even the songs historically with more rhythm like Crocodiles And Freak They dress in frak with large instrumental digressions that make them appear under another perspective, more elegant.

Bersani, between one anecdote and the other, like the one on the writing of Arm wrestling It took place last minute pre -closing album, after a five -day grueling with an “unwanted guest” girl from him in Bologna, or even with the drafting of You never just need to of from the took place during the preaching of a mass, it brings us gently towards the end of the live with its song-manifesto Universal judgments, sung loudly by all the theater.

With the encore de The fisherman of asterisks and a reworking of Replay greets us with another of his most successful masterpieces Chicco and pin from the new sprinkling. Applause and standing ovation Of the theater everything is the demonstration of total liking: with this new symphonic guise, Bersani confirms that he is the refined songwriter who has made himself over time, song after song, climbing after descent, fallen after returning to his feet … Thanks Samuele for this poem and welcome back among us!
