Telling stories through music lies at the heart of Remo Anzovino’s art. The Italian composer and pianist’s haunting works, cast in the form of meditative miniatures for solo piano or keyboard with other instruments, habitually express gentle nostalgia and heartfelt longing for inner peace. Born in 1976, Anzovino practised as a criminal lawyer before launching his musical career in the early 2000s with a series of scores to accompany silent films. He has since earned critical acclaim and a dedicated following for his soundtracks to documentaries exploring the close relationship between art or sport and society, including Van Gogh: Of Wheat Fields and Clouded Skies (2018) and Frida – Viva la Vida, from 2019. Anzovino has also won praise for his sequence of studio albums, Tabù, Igloo for piano and orchestra and Nocturne among them. His concert works include 9 Ottobre 1963, written in memory of the thousands of victims of the Vajont Dam disaster, and L’alba dei tram (Dedicato a Pasolini), a vibrant multimedia project for theatre, film and record.
