Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "Milanese pianist and composer Stefano Battaglia has walked on both sides of the classical and jazz street with ease and comfort... he performs in two different settings to illustrate his tremendous gifts as both an improviser and a composer... Disc one showcases Battaglia in a jazz trio setting... Here, lush lyricism folds into free improvisation... The second disc in this collection features Rabbia and Battaglia with violinist Dominique Pifarély, a member of Louis Sclavis' group. These 12 tunes are full of bracing improvisations and textural tension... The two discs together are all but irresistible to fans of the new European music".
