Recording and music

edit

The album of solo piano performances by Battaglia was recorded for Swiss radio in 1997.[1] "His compositions – many of them spontaneous – take their time, articulating the inner ear of harmonic construction and proceeding to erect little scalar structures that shift and seem to flit by until a number of them are assembled into one large idea."[1]

AllMusic     [1]

Musica Centripeta was released by Splasc(h) in 2000.[2] The AllMusic review concluded that "This second volume must have been a treat to record because, in its elegance and austere grace, it is nothing less than a small masterpiece."[1] AllAboutJazz wrote that "You won't find any hummable tunes on Musica Centripeta, but neither will you find somnolent repetition or forced abstraction. This disc is a serious study of sound, best appreciated with attentive listening and a mind open to creative synthesis."[2]
