In short, a musician who should be listened to without prejudice. \u201cDa Qui Passano I Venti\u201d is a mature work: the twelve tracks that comprise it, all original compositions, and all very \"written\", are all themes for imaginary films, sound environments that lead to the idea of musique d\\'ameublement but without being trapped. The piano is the center of everything, but there are also, here and there, contributions from other instrumental voices: double-bass by Ferruccio Spinetti, violin by Emanuela Lioy. In \"Il canto\" (track 3) the scene fills unexpectedly: here is the acting voice of Sergio Rubini, reciting some verses of Neruda's lost love, a very lyrical soprano sax solo, a beating percussion and  a string quartet... Music does not speak. But sometimes it\u2019s more eloquent than many words\u201d.<\/p>\nFabrizio Versienti\u00a0\u00a0(Corriere del Mezzogiorno)\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>biografia Pianista e compositore, sospeso fra jazz, post-minimalismo e musica da film.
