Stefano Battaglia Trio: In The Morning

Read "In The Morning" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Italian pianist Stefano Battaglia and his trio present a program with a special thematic focus: all of the music was written by American composer Alec Wilder.

After three ECM recordings that finally brought greater international attention to the eclectic breadth of Stefano Battaglia's nearly two-decade career, the Italian pianist turns to a format steeped in jazz orthodoxy for The River of Anyder .

Stefano Battaglia Trio: The River of Anyder

Il lungo viaggio musicale di Battaglia, nel suo nuovo capitolo per l'etichetta di Manfred Eicher, s'ispira ai luoghi fantasticati che scrittori, filosofi o mistici hanno evocato nel corso dei secoli. I titoli dei brani spaziano dalla città-fortezza descritta da Tolkien ne Il Signore degli Anelli (Minas Tirith) ad Anagoor di Dino Buzzati, dalla Bensalem di Francis ...
