Del suo veloce volo ('Of his swift flight') is a live album by British singer Anohni (here credited as Antony) and Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, released in 2013.
Overview
Following their collaboration in the 2008 Battiato's album Fleurs 2, Battiato and Anohni held two concerts in 2013, in Florence and in Verona.[1][2]
The album was recorded during the concert the duo held on 2 September at the Verona Arena.[1][3] The two artists alternated, duetting on the title track (an Italian-language cover of Antony and the Johnsons' "Frankenstein") and on Rolling Stones' "As Tears Go By".[1][3][4] Battiato was accompanied by the Arturo Toscanini Philharmonic, conducted by Carlo Guaitoli, while Antony performed with Rob Moose and Thomas Bartlett.[1][3] Alice appeared as a guest on two of Battiato's songs, their 1984 Eurovision entry "I treni di Tozeur" and "La realtà non esiste", a cover of a song by their recently deceased mutual friend Claudio Rocchi.[3]
Cover art was realized by Francesco Messina and photographer Alessio Pizzicannella.[1]
The album was released by Universal Music Group on 26 November 2013.[1][3]
