Lucio Battisti Il nostro caro angelo

3 jun 10

Voto:

My first Battisti album, which I then completely embraced by listening to Anima Latina. Great album, deliberately more stripped-down than the previous ones (the number of musicians was greatly reduced compared to the past). Exceptional melodies go hand in hand with unprecedented experimentalism for our beautiful country (listening to 'La canzone della terra' at high volume is quite a trip). Mogol more inspired than usual, less ethereal and more earthly, Lucio immense as always.

Amor Fou I Moralisti

I recently discovered them, and since I got the two LPs together, I don't know why but I dived into 'I moralisti' first, even though it's more recent. Well done. They slowly get under your skin, and that's absolutely a good thing; only after repeated listens do meanings and melodies unfold. I haven't internalized the whole album yet, but the first 6-7 tracks are all remarkable. 'Filemone e Bauci' is an epic ride like I haven't heard in a long time.

Tosto. It has been fifteen years since I last listened to it, at this age perhaps it's too much. Anyway, always great Area.

BLECHTROMMEL has summarized what I think. I don't hold it against PFM, but too much is too much... (and the album will definitely be very nice)

It is clear that in recent years certain masterpieces from the past have taken on a classic status, and we must get used to the fact that they will be redone and reinterpreted for a long time to come. Doesn't that happen with other music genres as well? As far as I'm concerned, I would prefer that certain big dinosaurs stop drawing from the glorious past and hang up their glorious instruments. However, if some young author (see the much-hated Mr. Castoldi) decides to challenge himself by also (and I emphasize also) redoing certain masterpieces to bring them closer to a younger audience: if done well, then let it be.

Thank you, Primiballi, thank you because those two gentlemen there have written unforgettable pages of our song, unforgettable and always relevant because without any shadow of a doubt, the great classics of our songwriting are classics that were sung, are sung, and will be sung, God willing, even a hundred years from now, just like the musts of other musical genres from the past and present. In my opinion, today in pop music (in the broadest sense of the term), it no longer makes much sense to talk about 'old' and 'new' because almost everything has already been said and written. Therefore, the masterpieces of yesterday and today remain, as do those authors from yesterday and today who know how to write songs.

I discovered Boll through the stories in 'And Didn't Say a Word,' and then I read almost all of his novels within a year. Due to the themes he addresses (the German years of lead being the only ones, despite great differences, comparable to our own), I became particularly passionate about 'The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum' and 'Preventive Siege,' two of the writer's later works, who remains, in my humble opinion, one of the greats of the 20th century.
