"My 19th Rondo Veneziano CD and truly one of the best.You think you know R.V.but still their music turns out to be so wonderfully unpredictable.There is a musical surprise in every track here and yet you know immediately the title track hits you this CD is going to be special.It's exciting,melodic,innovative and yet more new sounds are included once again proving that R.V.will always take their sound excitingly forward.As ever,left wanting more after but I was truly starstruck after this shimmering musical experience.You must hear this if only to discover the music attributed to your star sign. Magnifico Rondo !"

"I have listened to Rondo Veneziano since the mid-80s, and it continues to enchant me. I'm so glad that I can get these CDs now in the US. I am one of their biggest fans, and this latest album has become a favorite. I have gotten copies for many of my friends and family for birthdays, holidays, etc. It is an ideal gift!"
Companion for a desert island

"As a child we played Desert Island Castaways on rainy days when there was nothing to do. And we'd have to name 10 albums or books we'd take with us to a desert island and defend our choices. Pretty good test for a 7-year -old. I revived the game recently (40 years later) and this time, The Zodiac was on my list (along with Sailing to Philadelphia). This is music with all of life in one CD. It has allowed me to create at my best, and is a source of strength when times are not when they seem. My greatest joy is that I have had the privilege of seeing these musicians every year when I go to Venice. TO see them in their own setting is transporting. And to think of how few people have heard of them here in the US. Vivaldi would be pleased! I know you will be too.(Try the game, by the way...you can spend hours, have a great time and then, regroup with all the records and have an even better time.)"
The glorious sound of Rondo Veneziano...

"Received this disc a few weeks ago and cannot stop listening to it! It is most delightful and very infectious! Rondo Veneziano's sound is 2nd to none. A musical interpretation of the Zodiac but the music is so good you don't need to know it was inspired by star signs. Among the greatest of instrumental groups of all time, Rondo Veneziano has achieved the perfect blend of pop and classical styles."
A truly enchanting experience....

"I have listened to RV since 1988 and have always loved the mixture of classical with a contemporary sound. I am happy to see that RV is being embraced here in the states and that the albums can be purchased at a reasonable price instead of the IMPORT prices.. Yikes! It's great music that has not gone out of style in the past ten years and will continue among my favorite music to listen to."
