Claudiio baglioni e Gianni Morandi
Capitani coraggiosi - Il live

LA RECENSIONE

When I heard that this duo was forming to do concerts together, I said to myself, “Okay for Morandi, who is no stranger to these duo tours (see the most famous one he did with Lucio Dalla)... but what is Baglioni doing? For better or worse, he has always been one to walk alone, and now he wants to completely ruin his career? (which has been truly great until a few years ago, but time was rightly bringing it to decline).”

I was extremely skeptical about this pairing, and I never, ever thought I would change my mind.

The input came from the Rai double broadcast, which showed me that the good work of the two had been studied in every detail (from the setlist to the arrangements) and that Baglioni’s good hand had greatly influenced the successful outcome of Morandi’s songs, which regained a bit of life compared to the original pieces.

Morandi himself repeatedly emphasized how the younger colleague (so to speak) thought of everything: arrangements, set designs, duets, the setlist, and everything that was part of the show.

Beautiful (classic) songs and great musicians accompanying them (including the four backing singers that make the harmonies fantastic).

This album is a must-listen (regardless of whether or not you like this type of music) because there are tracks that, willingly or not, are part of musical history.

Then many will criticize the two artists and the waves of love in their lyrics (I also prefer listening to Pink Floyd more) but every now and then it’s not bad to stop and appreciate artists like these who have made better music compared to the more recent Fedez and/or contemporary artists.
