Absolutely recommended. Photographs by Roberto Masotti, texts by Carlo Maria Cella, Silvia Lelli, Luca Scarlini. This is the third volume dedicated to musicians-composers that Masotti has collected for and with the publisher Seipersei after those dedicated to Keith Jarrett and John Cage. The one on Battiato shows a panorama of photographs that starts in 1973 with a service made in Bologna in the studio and on location commissioned by the Bla Bla label by Pino Massara and followed by a whole series of sessions carried out in the photographer's Milanese studio, at the artist's house, in concert or particular performances followed by Masotti throughout the seventies and early eighties up to the concerts in the sports halls after the success of La Voce del Padrone or Patriots that show photographs inserted in the respective covers of the works cited. This publication on the covers of the discs takes place starting from Sulle Corde di Aries, continues with Clic and with the experimental discs for Ricordi, then on those of the successful "pop" turning point for EMI to continue with the most recent anthologies for Universal-Sony .
