More Info
This is a grand "tale", all the more remarkable when one reads the extensive (pages and pages of them, in fact) liner notes which recount the history of the land of Patagonia. It¹s much more along the lines of soundtrack music, especially on tracks like the opening "Sayhueque", (church-like bells, pounding timpani, and bass-strings may bring to mind Morricone¹s great soundtrack for The Mission). I keep coming back to the comparison to a soundtrack. In fact, owing to the great liner notes and the strong visual component of the music, I sure wish someone would "film" this album.

Suite Patagonia is the Argentinean composer’s masterpiece. Rafa Dorado MARGEN mag #22 Spain
A great alternative for people who lost their faith in Mike Oldfield! Carsten Background Mag. Holland
Suite Patagonia is a fine example of the compositional skills of Sanfilippo. Get that Grammy ready as this guy truly deserves it! In the meantime, film directors can stop their quest for the right soundtrack as Bruno Sanfilippo will certainly do an outstanding job. Superb!! John "Bo Bo"Bollenberg. Progressiveworld Magazine USA
Sanfilippo zeichnet aus, dass er nicht nur in den pompösen Parts, sondern auch – oder gerade – in den ruhigen Momenten überzeugen kann. Ein sehr interessantes, wunderbar aufgemachtes Instrumentalalbum aus einem Guss, das neugierig macht, wie wohl die übrigen Veröffentlichungen des Argentiniers klingen.
Jürgen Meurer - Germany
Una banda sonora sin película, que consigue evocar todo tipo de imágenes en la mente de quien lo escucha.
Sanfilippo propone una visita por la historia y leyendas de la época de los conquistadores sobre los paisajes e indígenas de este lugar. Cánticos rituales en "Giant Patagon", la gradiosidad de "Sayhueque" o la orquestación y piano de "Terra Incognita" atacan lo más profundo de tus sentidos, combinando samplers y sintes con instrumentos ancestrales.
Inevitables referencias a Vangelis, Mike Oldfield o Ennio Morricone, pero con incomparable riqueza y fuerza.
