The headline release from the "Italian Progressive Rock Festival - Autumn Campaign 2011" arrives from the familiar Wildlife label!

This release features a complete recording of the performance by PFM—captured with superb audience-sourced audio quality—from the final day (Monday, November 7) of the historic festival. Held over four days (November 4–7) at Club Citta' in Kawasaki, the event showcased a spectacular lineup of Italian progressive rock bands—truly a "dream of dreams" event.

While PFM also served as the closing act on the festival's opening night (November 4), on this day and the previous one, they presented a full performance in collaboration with an orchestra—undoubtedly one of the festival's major highlights.

The show was structured in two parts: a first set featuring various classical masterpieces, and a second set where they performed a selection of their own finest songs accompanied by the orchestra. Perhaps because it was a weekday, the setlist was slightly shorter than the previous day's; however, the performance of these classic songs—backed by an orchestra led by the band's dedicated conductor—delivers goosebumps every time you hear it!

This release is a superb-quality gem, capturing the entirety of this moving live performance—which capped off the four-day festival—via 24-bit digital remastering from the label's original master tapes.
Recorded from a prime, front-and-center seat in the arena, the audio captures a stunning balance and overwhelming intensity, blending the band's raw live sound with the output from the PA speakers; the sound quality is truly astonishing, allowing you to hear even the casual banter between band members between songs!
