The album of solo piano performances by Battaglia was recorded for Swiss radio in 1997.

Musica Centripeta was released by Splasc(h) in 2000. [2] The AllMusic review concluded that "This second volume must have been a treat to record because, in its elegance and austere grace, it is nothing less than a small masterpiece." [1] AllAboutJazz wrote that "You won't find any hummable tunes on Musica Centripeta, but neither will you find somnolent repetition or forced abstraction. This disc is a serious study of sound, best appreciated with attentive listening and a mind open to creative synthesis." [2]
