意大利的新古典乐团。
Ashram----乡间供沉思的小屋……又是一个美妙至极的名字.自然,做出的也是美妙至极的音乐.
Ashram由3 名成员组成: Luigi Rubino(钢琴),Sergio Panarella(声乐演唱) 和Alfredo Notarlobert(小提琴).另外,Alfredo同时也是Argine乐队的小提琴手.
正是因为这点,Ashram有着同Argine一样忧伤美丽的小提琴.
Ashram的音乐是极简的,大多数时候,只有古典钢琴和小提琴的伴奏,少许的曲目会加入一些大提琴和男低音.
他们的另外一个特点是Sergio的十分特别的高音,使其听起来相当忧郁而悲哀.
他们就是用这些元素构架出了一种相当忧郁哀怨但又非常美丽的声音.
这是最适合于窗外瓢泼大雨的夜晚静心聆听的音乐.
此张为EP，2000年出版的为demo版本,美丽的钢琴与大提琴的和谐曲。

Ashram is back after some 4 years with a splendid second album. Shining Silver Skies contains very delicate and beautiful neoclassical music. This music is the ultimate way to get totally relaxed and to enjoy intensively in a way in which everything seems to be very light. In weight, in colour and in sound. The music has just about the exact right balance between light atmospheres and deep emotions without getting all pathetic or bombastic. The ingeniously thought-out and very versatile piano sounds by Luigi Rubino create the base over which the violin of Edo Notarloberti plays it’s arrangements. There can sometimes also be heard a chello sound which adds the necessary depth to the compositions. The whole picture regarding this pure music with a slightly nostalgic character is made complete by the wonderful, sometimes almost crooning, vocals of Sergio Panarella. Sergio’s voice is melodic and has a certain degree of accessibility that borders the popular and which ensures that the music doesn’t come across as too heavy or pompuous yet deliciously balances on that fine thin line. This is truly exceptionally good.
