Stefano Battaglia Trio: In The Morning
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.

Stefano Battaglia Trio: In The Morning
by Karl Ackermann
Over the past five years Stefano Battaglia could have easily taken bassist Salvatore Maiore and drummer Roberto Dani into the ubiquitous realm of classically trained piano trios, where improvisation, chamber and dark lyricism meet but rarely ignite.

Stefano Battaglia Trio: The River of Anyder
by AAJ Italy Staff
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 ...
