Andrea Padova

Andrea Padova has imposed attention of international critics with a victory at JSBach Internationaler Klavierwettbewerb in 1995 and has since begun an international career that brought him his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1998. Regular guest of prestigious European and American (he played in New York, Washington, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Montreal, Vancouver, Mainz, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Milan), accounts for Stradivarius. His CD devoted to Bach's Fantasie was reported by Classic CD as one of the three best piano discs of 1997 (along with those of Andras Schiff and Murray Perahia). In 2005, its dedicated disk to compositions of Busoni was greeted with enthusiasm by the authoritative magazine Gramophone and Crescendo, which has the highest recognition with the Joker. With Landscape in Motion (2006) has finally submitted both as composer and performer, offering songs for solo piano in a language that magically suspended between the rigor of classical music, energy and spontaneity of jazz music. Andrea Padua has recently received significant recognition as an interpreter of Chopin, which will perform the second concert at Teatro alla Scala in October 2008.
