Editorial Reviews

Born in Milan (IT), where he studied piano and composition, he began composing when he was a child. Having fallen in love for classical and jazz music, as well as pop music, he worked as a piano and keyboards player, producer and arranger in many different music environments, recording jingles, soundtracks, dance and electronic records (with Sony Music and Emi) in both Italy and other parts of Europe. In addition to "popular" sounds, he enjoys composing in his own style, which is a mix between new age, classical and pop music. He defines this mix as "soundtracks without movies", a handiwork of piano composition and the wise use of various technologies. "The Magic Room" is his first solo album. Recorded in his own studio, it contains 16 tracks. Piano is the main hero, backed by both other keyboards and cello. Ryuichi Sakamoto, Michael Nyman and Lyle Mays are three major inspirational artists for his compositions, as well as Einaudi, Allevi, Burt Bacharach's songs and Morricone's soundtracks.

This review is from: Magic Room (Audio CD)

A vernal gale

All of a sudden having opened wide a frozen window,

Brings us a smell of soil becoming damp,

Which is anxious to declare its love to all

With boundless variety of flowers....

«The Magic Room» is a debut album of an Italian pianist Fabrizio Selli. His music fascinates from the first chords of the composition «Spring's Harmony»: it is full of beauty and finesse. And then you are just hovering among elevated harmonies of «Quel Giorno» and «The Magic Room». And short tunes «It Will Be The Magic Room» and «It Will Be The Years Of Love» forestalling these two compositions emphasize the charm of Fabrizio Selli's music with their touching and tender sounding.

On the whole the musician forestalls nearly all his compositions with short preludes. And this makes their sounding even more expressive. It must be said that some vigour and spring freshness exists in Fabrizio Selli's music. These are the melodies of expectations of happiness and love. When you believe that all troubles are not more than a short episode of your life, and you feel already this heady air of the spring which brings you joy and happiness.

Fabrizio Selli's music is a very individual one. The musician has his own particular style, he adds gentle sounding of keyboards and an exquisite violin to the piano. And moreover the triboluminescence and ingenuousness reside in his music, this is a music of a person who is frank with the world.

«The Magic Room» album is a brilliant debut that reveals an outstanding new age musician Fabrizio Selli to us. The performer expresses his feelings in all sincerity. And this sincerity with which his music is imbued prompts us to listening «The Magic Room» album time and again.
