Paolo Silvestri

Paolo Silvestri is a gifted Italian pianist, composer, and arranger known for his captivating blend of jazz, classical, and film music influences. He's particularly celebrated for his interpretations and arrangements of iconic Italian film scores, including works by Ennio Morricone, as showcased in releases like "Postcards from Italy" and his renditions of themes from "The Mission" and "Cinema Paradiso." Silvestri's own compositions, such as the "Controvento" theme, demonstrate his melodic sensibility and knack for evocative storytelling. He's also comfortable working across different formats, from solo piano pieces to full orchestral arrangements, and has even composed for television series like "L'una e l'altra."

Beyond his work with film scores, Silvestri explores a wide range of musical landscapes. He's released albums featuring original compositions like "Picnic Sulla Luna" and "Concertone," showcasing his versatility and creative spirit. His arrangements often bridge the gap between classical and jazz, as heard in his jazz orchestra adaptation of Bellini's "Norma." Whether performing solo or leading an ensemble, Silvestri brings a distinct passion and artistry to his music, making him a prominent figure in the contemporary Italian music scene.
