Originally released in 1981, Pianoforte E Orchestra - I Solisti E Gli Archi is one of Dino Siani’s most varied albums, conceived as a gallery of musical personalities where each track highlights one (or more) soloist, as well as a distinct mood. Rooted in classical music and easy listening but open to jazz, bossa nova and pop, the album perfectly reflects the transitional sound of the early 1980s, when cinematic scoring, television themes and sophisticated pop converged.
