Nicola Piovani's gentle piano lines and proud accompaniments feature in the pioneering work of directors such as Federico Fellini and Roberto Benigni (for which Piovani won an Oscar® with his score to Life is Beautiful). Here, Piovani tenderly plays piano and guides swirling strings, with flashes of subtle woodwind or plucked guitars, in his works for both theatre and film. This collection comes from across several decades and captures the immersive and soothing sounds of this emotionally evocative and deeply cinematic composer.
