Bueno, otro disquito de este intérprete argentino radicado en España. Disculpen pero aún no he escuchado este disco, pero igual se los dejo aunque no voy a opinar sobre él. Aunque seguramente ronda en el estilo típico del músico.
Vamos, entonces, con algunos comentarios de otros (traduszcan si les interesa):

Spread over three years ('91 - '95 and '97), the Argentinian multi-instrumentalist BrunoSanfilippo released three albums.
These have now been released on CD through the ad21music label, a transfer which has spectaculary given a big advantage what the beauty and fragility of the music is concerned. I think it’s too easy to call Bruno’s music ‘new age’ because his music is too varied, too well-considered, too beautiful.
Listen to the track ‘Seven lakes’ on the album ‘Sons of the Light’ and you know what I mean.
Especially beautiful is ‘White wind’ with the acoustic guitar of Jorge Alvarado against a wall of strings.
On his second album ‘The new kingdom’, Sanfilippo follows a ‘dreamy’ direction.
Listen to ‘Argentum’ as one of the prime examples and with a strong Vangelis feel all around.
By adding violin and flute, a song like ‘The sacred gift’ even shows off some Celtic influences.
On his third album ‘Solemnis’, Sanfilippo no longer uses guestmusicians in order to deliver a full solo composition which can easily compete with the best film soundtracks.
The very rich titlesong sounds as Bruno’s own ‘Bolero’ ! On all of these albums Bruno Sanfilippo proves to be an outstanding talent with a strong love for classical themes.
The sober yet well considered use of certain sounds delivers a unique ‘soundscape’ with which he might compete against the very best of the genre. In all: three outstanding releases and a man to watch out for.

Bruno Sanfilippo is an excellent musician from Argentina. The New Kingdom was recorded from January to March 1995 and shows the essence of this artist. He composes, produces and performs. His main instruments are keyboards, samplers and synthesizers, but his music is not some kind of electronic, cosmic adventure. Bruno prefers melodic music, with traits from classical, pop, and new age.
The album contains 9 beautiful, romantic songs.
Vanesa Tomas (vocal treatments), Roberto Gandini (violin and electric violin), Bernardo Peregrina (additional synthesizer programming) and Manuel Miranda (flute, German flute and piccolo) also contribute. Listen to this album: is certainly a charming and pleasing experience.

V. Arenas

Although it is not massively admitted, music with universal basis reaches a great number of people in our country. But the most sold albums are those by foreign authors.
Argentina has excellent composers, as Bruno Sanfilippo, who has an important independent production with great musical quality.
"Sons of the Light", "The New Kingdom" and "Solemnis" are a clear proof of what we assert:
an exellent composition based on deep themes, high recording quality and the satisfaction of counting on musician as Bruno Sanfilippo.
