The a-melted away in his music, the others turned up their nose.

A rare Position for one who comes from classical music.

But for stylistic drawers in Bosso never. The Turin belonged, like Ludovico Einaudi, Giovanni Allevi, Yann Tiersen – one of those pianists who reach a kind of emotionally charged minimalism to the masses.

Simply Bossos’s music is unmistakably Glass, inspired by Philip, often sentimental, sometimes uncontrollably cheesy. But personally it slip away never to Easy Listening.
