From minimalism by Ludovico Einaudi to classical Crossover of David Lanz,
his compositions are the expression of a musical sensibility
which originates from the classical tradition and contemporary elements using melodies and harmonies

That path was towards a contemplative, impressionistic style, both solo and
in tandem with other musicians, that put the spotlight squarely on Alessandro's piano,
an instrument he uses to communicate one-on-one with each listener. There's no definition for his music. You can
call it New Age, classical crossover, contemporary instrumental, adult alternative and
other adjectives but in the end it always comes down to this: Alessandro Martire plays Alessandro Martire music.

than life, breathtaking, yet accessible and down-to-earth as well.
