Incontri proibiti

Piero Piccioni’s Incontri proibiti captures the Italian composer at his most seductive, crafting sophisticated orchestral arrangements that blur the line between film score and lounge jazz. Released on RCA, this work showcases Piccioni’s gift for lush strings and subtle rhythmic sophistication—a hallmark of his prolific career scoring Italian cinema. The album’s forbidden-romance aesthetic unfolds through languid tempos and warm instrumentation, positioning it as essential listening for anyone tracing the lineage from classical composition to modern easy listening and jazz-influenced soundtrack work.
