Giuseppe Albanese APRÈS UNE LECTURE DE LISZT

One of the most sought-after Italian pianists of his generation, Giuseppe Albanese has performed throughout Italy and abroad, with praise for his performances as "ravishingly beautiful" and "truly superlative". First prize winner at Premio Venezia, the most important national piano competition in Italy, Albanese also won the first prize at London 2003 Vendome Prize International Piano Competition, headed by Sir Jeffrey Tate and defined by Le Figaro as "the piano world's most prestigious award". He was also awarded the special prize for the 'best execution of contemporary music' at the 54th Busoni International Piano Competition in Bolzano.

In 2014, Albanese has made his debut on Deutsche Grammophon label with "Fantasia", a concept album featuring Beethoven's Sonata quasi una Fantasia Op. 27 No. 2, Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy Op. 15 and Schumann's Fantasy Op. 17.
