Berio: Complete Piano Music / Tristano
) | Label: Piano Classics Catalog: PCL0032 Format: CD Francesco Tristano (piano)Composed by: BERIO The piano works of Luciano Berio span the entire life of the composer, and bear perfect witness of the style of this 20th Century genius. Based on the techniques of serialism, he composes a fascinating world of colors, inventions, wit and virtuosity, extremely challenging for both pianist and audience, but a rewarding effort for those with open ears. Francesco Tristano is a phenomenal interpreter of this music. He was born in 1981 in Luxembourg, and studied at the New York Juilliard School. In 2004 he won the prestigious Competition for 20th Century Piano Music in Orléans, which was the start of a successful, if unorthodox, career. He is a composer as well, and gives concerts in which he combines the Classics with his own improvisations. As a jazz pianist he reaches new audiences. His first recordings were made on the French Sisyphe label, at present he is under contract with Deutsche Grammophon.  Price: $21.98 |
