Roberto Cacciapaglia

Heretical pianist and graduated composer, he shared (at just 19) with Battiato the avant-garde and electrifying experiments on the vcs3 of "Pollution", the beginning of a long friendship and collaboration. Like Battiato, he experienced popular success late, enchanting European audiences with the Olympic harmony of his last stunning albums for piano, soprano, and orchestra ("Canone degli Spazi", "Quarto tempo", "Ten Directions").
