Giuseppe Albanese

Called in April 2005 to replace at the very last minute Louis Lortie in programme at the Filarmonica Laudamo, Giuseppe Albanese was certainly not inferior to his famous teacher and colleague, on the contrary he literally conquered audiences in Messina with the beauty of his interpretations (his rendition of Bàartock’s Music of the Night was perfect) and his artistic maturity, leaving us with the memory of his strong personality and his promise to return with other important piano repertoires. Since then his career has become increasingly successful. Recitals in Italy and in Europe (the San Carlo in Naples, the Florentine May Musical Festival, La Fenice in Venice, the Opera in Rome, the Comunale in Bologna, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Mozarteum in Saltsburg), and in the USA (Metropolitan Museum in New York), Mexico and South America, in Tel Aviv, at the Arab Music Theatre in Cairo, and holding soloist concerts with the orchestra conducted by James Conlon and Alain Lombard. Giuseppe Albanese, who was born in Calabria, trained with great teachers at the “Incontri col Maestro” Piano Academy in, the city in which he now lives.
