'Dedicated to the incredible histories that harboured the lands of the Patagonia. The Cacique Sayhueque, the Patagonian Giant's myth, the admiration of the colonists before an unknown fauna, the contact between the native ones and Magellan's men, curious histories that touch with the magic and the fantasy, full with myths fed by old conquerors, scanners and adventurers. The colourful autochthonous instrumentation with aboriginal songs, sounds of the southern fauna, the European vision of a time, of a place, of numberless histories and legends'
Bruno, Argentina 2000.

SUITE PATAGONIA PERCEPTIONS
The whole album is very 'visual' akin to some of the music produced by Anthony Phillips or Ennio Morricone.
Suite Patagonia is an excellent soundtrack without a film. Mark Hughes .The Dutch Progressive Rock Germany
The sound of Suite Patagonia reminds me of soundtracks. In fact this is a very interesting almost-orchestral album and that will transport the listener to ancient times and places. Alfonso Algora .PROGVISIONS Spain
Suite Patagonia provides nourishment for the world-weary soul. Sanfilippo has created a convincing prayer for harmony and a reminder of life’s fragility that is unmistakably beautiful. Jeed Beaudoin Ytsejam.com USA
It’s hard to put this album into words. You could say it’s similar to some of Mike Oldfield or Vangelis’ works. It’s symphonic music. Hard on the ears at first, but descriptive and fascinating at the same time.
Alberto Nucci ARLEQUINS Mag. Italy
Suite Patagonia is certainly the best Symphonic Prog album I ever heard since long ! An intelligent and personal concept album!Thierry Sportouche ACID DRAGON Mag. #33 France

This is a grand "tale", all the more remarkable when one reads the extensive (pages and pages of them, in fact) liner notes which recount the history of the land of Patagonia. It¹s much more along the lines of soundtrack music, especially on tracks like the opening "Sayhueque", (church-like bells, pounding timpani, and bass-strings may bring to mind Morricone¹s great soundtrack for The Mission). I keep coming back to the comparison to a soundtrack. In fact, owing to the great liner notes and the strong visual component of the music, I sure wish someone would "film" this album. Bill Binkelman. WIND and WIRE USA

Suite Patagonia is the Argentinean composer’s masterpiece. Rafa Dorado MARGEN mag #22 Spain
A great alternative for people who lost their faith in Mike Oldfield! Carsten Background Mag. Holland
Suite Patagonia is a fine example of the compositional skills of Sanfilippo. Get that Grammy ready as this guy truly deserves it! In the meantime, film directors can stop their quest for the right soundtrack as Bruno Sanfilippo will certainly do an outstanding job. Superb!! John "Bo Bo"Bollenberg. Progressiveworld Magazine USA
I love your music and creativity and will be featuring some of your tracks today. Padma Mystic Radio USA
 
Sanfilippo zeichnet aus, dass er nicht nur in den pompösen Parts, sondern auch – oder gerade –
in den ruhigen Momenten überzeugen kann. Ein sehr interessantes, wunderbar aufgemachtes Instrumentalalbum aus einem Guss, das neugierig macht, wie wohl die übrigen Veröffentlichungen des Argentiniers klingen.
Jürgen Meurer - Germany
I have just made a trip to Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia and made an amateur video road-movie there.
Thanks to the 'Suite Patagonia' soundtrack it became really great. Piotr France
Your beautiful work "Suite Patagonia" is airplay by our radio program ‘Habitantes del viento’ hosted by Nelson Abalos FM Rio Grande Argentina
I have listened the track ‘Magallanes’ in Sonico.com and I have really liked a lot. Axel Fuhrmann
You check out the audio samples for "Suite Patagonia" cause it is definitely pretty interesting!!! MC LOGO USA
I received Suite Patagonia from CDStreet ... It’s the only thing I’ve been listening for the last few days…
It’s better than I expected! Good job! G. Blanco - N.Y USA
This afternoon I have listened Suite Patagonia; genuinely wonderful. Urbano Ruiz Alejos Spain
Suite Patagonia is excellent, very creative and inspired. Fedhar Ginaca -El Bolsón Argentina
