5.0 out of 5 stars
You won't regret, September 12, 2005
This review is from: Platinum Collection (Audio CD)
If you like really well done italian music, between pop, rock and classic (not always italian, since Battiato sings in English, German, French, Latin, Greek, Arabian, etc.) you won't regret buying this collection.
Battiato started his career in 1965. Starting from the eighties he became a big star in Italy.
Why I reviewed this album?
Battiato is sicilian as I am.
Sicily is not only Mafia.
We had great writers (Giovanni Verga, Tomasi di Lampedusa, Salvatore Quasimodo, Gesualdo Bufalino) and even if modern homogenization through international media transforms everything in commercial phenomena or ends up with creativity, there is still some surviving elite everywhere.
Sicily "suffered" many conquests, but our foreign visitors enriched our cultural patrimony.
You hear lots of this heritage in Battiato's music.
