It appreciates Rocchetti’s boldness and links his style to the legacy of Franco Battiato and the Italian lofamostran scene, while noting some uncertainty in artistic direction. The work evokes an apocalyptic, distorted soundscape rather than a traditional classical tribute. Listen to Claudio Rocchetti’s unique Goldberg Variations and experience a bold, experimental journey through sound.
