Claudio Baglioni
OMRI
(
Italian pronunciation:
[?klaudjo
ba???oːni]
; born 16 May 1951) is an Italian
pop
singer-songwriter and musician. His career has been going on for over 50 years.
[1]
Considered one of the most successful pop rock singer-songwriters in the history of Italian music, he has sold over 60 million records, among which
Questo piccolo grande amore
from 1972 stands out, of which the song of the same name was awarded ≪song of the century≫,
[2]
Strada facendo
from 1981, one of the albums the artist's most successful album and
La vita e adesso
from 1985 which is the best-selling album of all time in Italy.
[3]
[4]
In the 90s he embraced World Music with the discs of the time trilogy, which began with
Oltre
(1990) considered his masterpiece,
[5]
[6]
continued with one of the best-selling albums ever in Italy
Io sono qui
(1995) and ended with
Viaggiatore sulla coda del tempo
(1999). In 2006 he composed the anthem of the
2006 Winter Olympics
.
[7]
[8]
[9]
Also an innovator in the field of live performances, Baglioni achieved over a million total spectators with the tours
Ale Oo
in 1982 and
Notti di note
in 1985.
[10]
In 1986 he invented a new method of live performance, with the tour
Assolo
where he performed completely alone accompanied by
electric guitar
,
piano
,
sequencer
and
MIDI
, a technology never tested at the time.
[11]
In 1991 he was the first artist in the world to realize a concert with the stage in the centre, awarded by the magazine
Billboard
as ≪the best concert in the world≫,
[12]
on 6 June 1998, again with the same concept of the stage in the centre, he set the record for attendance at a higher event ever; 100,000 spectators at the
Olympic stadium in Rome
,
[13]
and in 2000 he will perform in
St. Peter's Square
in the
Vatican City
in the presence of 300,000 people including the Pope.
[14]
Biography
[
edit
]
Around 1968 he composed the
Annabel Lee
musical suite, based on a poem by
Edgar Allan Poe
. In 1969, he released his first single and recorded the single
Signora Lia
; a comic song that tells of a lady's marital infidelity. Over time the song became a cult of Italian pop music despite its poor initial success. He collaborated with Italian singer
Mia Martini
for her debut album.
[15]
Baglioni in 1974
Success came only in 1972, with the album
Questo piccolo grande amore
; the homonymous song in 1985 will be awarded as the Italian song of the century. In 1974, he recorded the album
E tu ...
with
Vangelis
. In 1975, it comes out
Sabato pomeriggio
; a concept album about waiting, based on
Giacomo Leopardi
's poems. In 1977, the album
Solo
; was the first in which he made lyrics, music and production on his own. In 1978, comes the incredible success with the album
E tu come stai?
.
In 1981, he produced the hugely successful album
Strada facendo
. The following year the
Ale Oo tour
starts, the first tour of an Italian singer in the big stadiums. The name of the tour in fact takes its cue from a typical chorus of football matches. In June of the same year (1982) Claudio at the age of 31 becomes a father and in one day writes the worldwide hit song
Avrai
dedicated to his son.
Baglioni in 1985
In 1985, comes the incredible success of the album
La vita e adesso
, the best-selling album of all time in Italy,
[16]
immediately after the release of the album begins the 1985 tour that totaled over 1.5 million spectators with the final concert in Rome which was the first concert in the history of Italian music to be broadcast live on TV, the overwhelming success of the album kicks off another big tour the following year;
Assolo
a sensational tour consisting of over 30 concerts in the great stadiums of Italy where Claudio Baglioni performs completely alone, without a band, with the help of
classical
and
electric guitar
,
pianola
,
piano
,
synthesizer
and
MIDI
, a technology never tested at the time.
[17]
The live album
Assolo
is based on the concert at the stadium in the city of
Milan
to which almost 100,000 people will flock, the triple album was a commercial success in
Europe
. The success of Claudio in this decade is so high that around the end of 1985 the first collection for the European market of the singer-songwriter was released, entitled
Claudio Baglioni
,
[18]
containing the best ten songs of the singer-songwriter of the 80s.
In 1988, he participated in a concert of the
Human Right Now!
tour with
Peter Gabriel
,
Sting
and
Bruce Springsteen
.
Baglioni in 1990
In 1990, after 3 years of work he released the double album
Oltre
, an ambitious project with 20 songs that embrace World Music and the participation of great international artists; the album will radically change the Italian music industry. The concert of 1991 will be decreed by
Billboard
magazine as the best concert of the year in the world, thanks to the stage that is located in the center of the stadium with the public surrounding it in the round. In the same year the European version of the record
Oltre
is marketed.
[19]
In 1992 the tour
Oltre il concerto
began, held in palasport with the stage in the centre, marking the return of Baglioni throughout Italy, with over 50 dates it was a huge success.
[20]
Baglioni in 1996
In 1995, the album
Io sono qui
was released, which marks Claudio's return to the scene, the disc deals with the theme of comedy, everyday life is in fact a bit of a comedy for everyone where everyone wears a mask without knowing if he is an actor or a spectator of life. The album is structured as if it were a film with a beginning, an end, the interlude and then the first, second, third and fourth time which anticipate the subsequent songs by describing them as cinematic scenes.
[21]
Baglioni initially presents the album with a series of surprise concerts held on a yellow truck which once opened became a stage, the concert tour is called
Tour Giallo
.
[22]
Subsequently, the 1996 tour called
Tour Rosso
began in the palasport with the stage in the center without barriers between the public and the artist with the band, with over 51 dates it became an incredible success.
[23]
And in 1999, the album
Viaggiatore sulla coda del tempo
, with the imminent arrival of the new millennium, tackles the theme of modern technologies and at the same time tells of the journey of a traveler towards this unknown future. Baglioni will subsequently declare that the three albums make up a trilogy of time where each represents the past, present and future respectively. The tour that follows this album, called
Tour Blu
, is characterized by a futuristic style like the album with projection screens and laser lights.
On 6 June 1998, he had his last concert of the millennium at the
Olympic stadium in Rome
, the concert totaled over 100,000 spectators thanks to the stage in the center and the spectators who filled the stadium, still this record remains undefeated by any event, both musical and sporty.
[24]
Baglioni in 2000's
In the 2000s he brought the tour
Acustico. Sogno di una notte di note
to the
amphitheatres
, rearranging all his most famous songs in an acoustic key, in 2001 he was the first artist to bring pop music to traditional theaters with the tour
Incanto tra pianoforte e voce
performing completely alone accompanied by just the piano. In 2003 he released the album
Sono io
and in 2005 his first official collection
Tutti qui
was released which soon became a commercial success and from which the tour which lasted from 2006 to 2007 began in palasport with the stage at the centre. In 2009 the album
Q.P.G.A.
was released, containing Baglioni's most successful song of that decade;
Niente piu
.
[25]
In 2010, he did a series of concerts around the world. In 2013 he released the album
Con voi
and in 2020 the last album
In questa storia, che e la mia
. In 2019, to celebrate 50 years of career, he realizes an incredible concert at the
Verona Arena
which for the first time is open to the public in its entirety. With the stage in the center and the spectators filling the entire arena in the round.
[26]
[27]
[28]
In the summer of 2022 he made the
Tutti su!
tour in the amphitheaters and in the summer of 2023
aTuttoCuore
tour with an incredible concert at the Foro Italico in Rome then continued in 2024 around Italy in palasport.
