Profile

Active in Italy and abroad both as a soloist as well as a conductor, his piano recitals, in particular, are characterized by a diversified repertoire that extends from English virginalists to contemporary music, through the great masterpieces of the classic-romantic tradition.

Each choice of repertoire, as well as the construction of the concert program itself, is the result of a research path that also includes figurative art and literature (for example, recitals dedicated to Nabokov and the relationship between music and autobiography).

He held the first Italian performances of works such as Images by Howard Skempton, Time Curve Preludes by William Duckworth.

First Italian interpreter to perform in a single concert the Complete Piano Etudes by Philip Glass (June 2017), as well as some unpublished pieces (Vision, Monsters of Grace) included in the retrospective dedicated to the full piano of the American composer (I. Original Works: on Melancholy, II Transcriptions: on Ardour, III. Complete Etudes: on Perfection).
