He contributed the music for the theatrical shows “Et incarnatus est: W. A. Mozart – Tema con divagazioni” and “Parole Mute” (Enriquez Prize 2009). As a soloist, he played for artists such Ennio Morricone and Nicola Piovani. He composed the soundtrack of the Human-4d version of the film “In guerra” by director Davide Sibaldi.
In 2015 the Dynamic label published a CD in which he interprets Duke Ellington’s piano works. In March 2017 the music magazine Amadeus published, in downloadable CD, his solo recital “Sogno di un valzer-una società in ballo”. In 2018 the Dynamic label released “Cinema”, a CD featuring original piano soundtracks; this was followed, in 2021, by “Fake Bach”, also for Dynamic, recorded at RSI (Radio Svizzera Italiana). 2022 marked the Dynamic release of “Igor Stravinsky – Piano Conversations”, recorded at RSI. In December 2023, the music magazine Classic Voice published Palombi’s double CD dedicated to the piano transcriptions of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th Symphony (by Franz Liszt), and of Dmitri Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony (by Levon Atovmian, in world première recording).
