Ending (Live 2021-11-27)"According to their press release, this live album was recorded in the Roz Vitalis 20th anniversary concert, Saint Petersburg, November 27, 2021. ... This release goes through Roz Vitalis' career achievements, including thirteen years as a regularly performing live band. This album includes both classic tracks and newer stuff.The album opens with Daybreaking, an exquisite exercise in chamber rock, which moves from the initial keyboard transparent texture to a counterpoint passage punctuated by electric guitar & flute, and then to a more syncopated section building momentum before the resolution, which returns to the initial calm.Escaping From Myself, after a baroque harpsichord intro, is a more traditionally "rock-oriented" track, with a great rhythmic frame constructed by percussion and bass, acid-jazz sounding synth, and spectacular soloing by the winds.Summing up, we are in for a nice, relaxed, and for moments instrumentally impressive prog concert, with the best sound quality you may ask."(c) Heart of the Matterhttp://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2676647***"Roz Vitalis are a progressive rock band out of St. Petersburg, Russia, who have wowed audiences worldwide by blending symphonic prog with slightly more avant-garde tendencies. The tracks here are recorded live, but don’t let that dissuade you from trying out this album. The sound is crisp and full, and the performances are a nice development from their studio work."(c) Rudolph Carrerahttps://musicyouneedtohear.com/roz-vitalis-20-years-alive-and-well/***"Roz Vitalis' focus on being largely a live band as of late is something I've been growing increasingly fond of the more I've delved into their material. Their rich, detailed sound palettes combined with the crystal clear sound really does often make the songs sound as if they could have been recorded in studio, but it always has that sense of spontaneity and live musicality that makes each release of theirs different sounding, even if the same base compositions are often used in multiple different places, they each manage to define themselves as something wholly unique and worth hearing, with this whole dynamic of the band feeling especially applicable to this one. Given the nature of this album essentially being a long celebration of the band's past, it makes sense that the album representing this would be as triumphant and clean as it was, with most of these tracks simply sounding like the best versions available in a lot of regards, especially if you're looking for an atmosphere that's a bit more on the uplifting side. This is also really one of those albums that I find quite difficult to talk about simply due to the fact that this does feel more like a big celebration of the band's music, redefining elements of their past work rather than crafting anything all too new in itself.The individual tracks might be a bit difficult to tell apart, but it never felt as if the album's point was really to focus on the individual experience of any individual song, with them instead flowing altogether in harmony to craft a single, much longer experience that doubles down on the atmospheric qualities of their music, all of which makes a decent bit of sense given the fact that this is yet another live album from them. While there might not be a ton I am able to say about this album, if there's only one Roz Vitalis album that you end up listening to, make it this one, as it feels like the best realised version of their sound so far, and is such a gorgeous take on their music in general, especially this version of Daybreaking. A must listen for fans of densely layered, yet beautiful music, as this still manages to strike that lovely balance of being so delicate and gorgeous while also having a seemingly endless amount of depth to it once you begin to dig that bit deeper."(c) Kempokidhttp://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2694647***"We can find ROZ VITALIS' wonderful appearance through this whole live album "20 Years ? Alive And Well", also the title says.This 20th anniversary concert held on November 27, 2021 sounds not like somewhat explosive musical energies against Covid19 pandemic or related lockdowns but more of calm, relaxed, delightful pleasure for playing on stage or in person, at least for me. Their instrumental management on stage is really skillful and enthusiastic as well, but - not sure why - we cannot feel any tense atmosphere around them via this gig. They say in the press release that many compositions here were reworked on the base of new sound and new treatment, but that is not the only reason why we feel so. One of my favourite songs "Passing Over" carries mysterious texture, avantgarde vibes, plus smooth, soft, elegant movements, all of which ensure the audience that they are trying to open the tomorrow door for getting to another brilliant world. Regardless of such an obstructive circumstance all over the world, this lively live album mentions they play vivaciously with expecting fabulous future and life.The concert could be filled with fantastic delight and certain satisfaction."(c) DamoXt7942http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2689941***"As is probably obvious from the title, 20 Years: Alive and Well celebrates the 20th anniversary of Roz Vitalis, which began as a studio project with electronic elements but has grown into an ever-changing chamber ensemble of talented musicians under the leadership of Ivan Rozmainsky. The band has increasingly become a live-focused act, and while there have been standalone singles released, their last full-length album (The Hidden Man of the Heart) was back in 2018. Between then and this latest live album, Roz Vitalis have thirteen releases, including five live albums – each with a quite different quality. There are some bands where one or two live albums are enough, as there is simply not enough variation and innovation. Other bands I rarely listen to their studio albums, as they pale in comparison to their live albums, and too many is still not enough. Roz Vitalis is certainly one of those bands where I will never tire of hearing a new live album, such are the differences between them – even when the setlists are similar. And when much of Roz Vitalis’s vast catalogue of songs can only be heard on their live releases, I would simply be missing out if I didn’t eagerly consume every new one as it is released. But, yes, this one is something special – and if you’ve never listened to Roz Vitalis, it’s a wonderful way to jump in and immerse yourself in the sometimes gentle, sometimes heavy, avant chamber prog of the band. The sound is often pastoral and almost folk-like, but there’s a dark edge almost always lurking, and the band can transition from smooth and peaceful to sharp and angular with ease and to great effect.The album begins with Daybreaking, one of the more recent Roz Vitalis compositions to be released (and, thus far, without a studio version), and one which quickly has become a favourite of many Roz Vitalis fans. It had its beginnings in an Ivan Rozmainsk
