I'm so happy, Baglioni tells his Maltese audience

During his Valletta concert on Saturday night, Claudio Baglioni kept his
audience captivated, clapping and singing along to his tunes - all-time
classics that have almost taken on anthem status even outside Italy.
The Italian singer-songwriter wowed a sold-out theatre not only by his
music, the depth and romance of his lyrics and the strength of his voice,
but also through his poetic and even humorous interludes between songs, his
interaction with the audience and his uncannily well-preserved good looks,
smiling eyes and radiant smile.
Claudio Baglioni sang to a 1,400-strong audience - all dressed up and
groomed for the night. Although, at first glance, it seemed the evening
would be too formal and the audience too rigid, with suited men and
bejewelled women in eveningwear, as soon as the curtain started to part, it
was clear they had every intention of letting their hair down, and did a
good job of it too!
Not far behind the curtain - in fact, practically on the edge of the stage -
the singer emerged, sitting on a stool, guitar in hand, and at close
quarters (particularly in the case of the front-row fans, who he took the
time to thank for their enthusiasm), causing an eruption of excitement,
manifested in the cheering and waving of the odd poster.
Despite the sheer size of the Mediterranean Conference Centre, an intimate
environment was immediately set as Claudio Baglioni embarked on a non-stop,
two-and-a-half-hour, one-man show.
In a display of versatility, he moved from guitar to piano to synthesizer...
and was even totally unaccompanied at one point.
"Testing" the MCC's acoustics, Claudio Baglioni interpreted a song with a
New Year's theme without music, a microphone, or any form of technology. His
voice carried and had the audience on their feet, applauding, for which he
never failed to show modest gratitude. According to the organisers, the
singer's managers said they had never heard him do the a cappella version
and claimed it was a first.
"Sei unico!", yelled one fan. "Yes, I know," he laughed, looking around the
empty stage, occupied by him alone and the solitary instruments.
Claudio Baglioni also attempted a few phrases in Maltese, which emerged
randomly, but appropriately - even though he joked that he did not really
know what he was saying and could have been asking the audience to leave!
Throughout his concert, he would throw in a line - "kemm jien kuntent" (I am
so happy), for example - following a momentary pause as he was evidently
struggling to remember the words and get it right.
"Ah, la memoria!" (My memory!) he sighed - indirectly referring to his age,
which his physical appearance, anyway, belies - as he tried to remember his
own lyrics and notes of songs written throughout a successful career that
has already spanned 40 years.
Saturday's repertoire was a trip down a nostalgic memory lane, with songs
like Porta Portese and Signora Lia, written way back in the early days and
which the mature audience was familiar with.
"Without nostalgia," Claudio Baglioni told his audience in a touching
introduction to Mai Piů Come Te, "many of the people we knew and the places
we visited would no longer exist..."
He exited the stage to a standing ovation, but returned three times to try
and satisfy an audience that simply would not seem to get enough. Finally,
he sang the anticipated Piccolo Grande Amore, although his own voice was
almost drowned out by the screeching of the audience, who knew all the
words, as well as his lesser-known latest single, Tutti Qui, to conclude
with Mille Giorni di Te e di Me.
Eventually, the audience let Claudio Baglioni go, but not until some flocked
to the stage to shake his hand, present him with flowers and feast on a
closer look.
And the party was not over yet for the performer. After the concert, he
dined at D'Agostino restaurant in Valletta and remained there with the local
organisers until 3 a.m. - even after his crew and management had left. Of
his entourage, it was only his two bodyguards/assistants who stayed on with
him.
The organisers were impressed at what a "wonderful person and how extremely
nice and cultured he is".
Claudio Baglioni had clearly done his reading on Malta and was very
interested. In fact, he did not stop asking questions about the country, its
politics, down to the "effect of the euro".
On the part of the organisers, MnG Promotions and Colours of Malta, they
were pleased with the smoothness of the event and said both Claudio Baglioni
and his management "enjoyed it tremendously".
"They were taken aback by the reception from the audience. He does not
usually play abroad to non-Italians and was surprised at the fact that they
were singing along in a foreign language."
The singer was said to have enjoyed the show as much as his audience and
loved the historical venue. An architect in his spare time, he was likely to
appreciate the country's architectural heritage.
MnG Promotions director Nigel Camilleri said relations with the management
were so good that, "hopefully, we will be able to hook up with them again to
bring over other artistes, but also Baglioni".
Even if it was not in concert, it was likely that he would be back, having
expressed a love for Malta and an interest to return on holiday.
