Introduction
1976 was a busy year for Vangelis, judging from the number of albums he
worked on. After signing to record label RCA a year earlier, he did not only
create the music for his solo album Albedo 0.39 and for the
Frédéric Rossif wild-life movie "La fête sauvage", but
in-between he managed to work with
Patty Pravo on her album
Tanto, and also cooperated with Riccardo Cocciante on his album Concerto per Margherita.
Vangelis is credited for producing and arranging the entire album, but not for composing.
Italian pop singer Riccardo Cocciante, then only at the start of his career, is nowadays a
popular artist in Italy and Europe.
