The �� song of the week - "I Giardini di Marzo"

06/10/2009 - 07:22

Following to a suggestion from Patricia (alias Dublin Patricia), I've decided to dedicate the �� song of the week on ITALY Community to Lucio Battisti. I've chosen "I Giardini di Marzo" that has been at the top of 1972's hit parades for 7 weeks. Here's a short bio taken from wikipedia "Lucio Battisti (05/03/1943 - 09/09/98) was an �� singer-songwriter. He is considered to be one of the best and most influential musicians and authors in �� pop/rock music history.Battisti started his career in 1966 and from 1969 to 1994 he released 18 albums in his home country. A significant part of his production was translated into Spanish (various albums) and English (one album). He was renowned to be an extremely reserved artist: during his successful career he performed only a relatively small number of live concerts and, in 1976, he announced he would communicate only through his studio albums, completely disappearing from �� public scene."If you would like to have other Battisti's song posted here, do not hesitate to add a new video. Just create a comment and hit the video icon (third from the last).Enjoy!

Grazie mille!. I havn't seen this video before .Is it possible to give a vote higher than average would say eccellente ( it IS Lucio after all)

I had the pleasure, during the last couple of days, of listening to the �� version of the song "Memory" from the musical Cats sung by Paul Potts (from his CD album "Passione"). I am enchanted by the �� version which is called "Piano". I know they did the �� version of the show in Milan last year. I have searched IBS.it, Ebay.it and blogosfere.it for either a DVD or CD album of the �� version of the show and so far no luck. Any idea where else to look in Italy? Thank you!Serge

Hi ValentinaI did not give up the search! I did not find an �� recording of the show because I do not think there is one! What I did find is that the show will be in Rome: Teatro Sistina in October 2009. There are supposed to be other performances in Milan, Naples, Turin, Florence and other cities. Of course all the songs will be in ��. We (our family) will aim to catch one of the shows! I hope an official cd will be released after the tour. It will be interesting to see how they translate the names of the some the characters eg Rumpleteazer. I am keeping an eye on the show's website!
