BAX,ALESSIO

Description:

Italian piano virtuoso Alessio Bax has won the 3rd Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in 1997 and the Leeds International Piano Competition in 2000, and continues to be active on the world stage. Bax's new recording, which also features a collaboration with Daishin Kashimoto, the first concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, is a collection of works from his repertoire inspired by his native Italy. Starting with the oboe concerto by Venetian composer Alessadro Marcello, which Bach arranged into a solo piano piece, the album includes Rachmaninoff's variations on a Corelli theme, a work by Luigi Dallapiccola, a 20th century Italian composer, and a piece from "Legend" written by Liszt in Rome, and A varied and wonderfully refined program, including one piece from "Year 2 of the Pilgrimage to Italy," which sets to music the impressions of a trip to Italy.
