Andrea Trovato
ANDREA TROVATO, piano
Andrea Trovato, pianist and organist, is a bright professional, having wide expertise as a concert performer and teacher. Active both as a soloist and in chamber ensembles, he performs various genres, from early to contemporary music not excluding opera and symphonic works. He has teamed up with important centres such as the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre and the Trieste Opera Theatre.
In 1994 he graduated in Piano from the Florence Conservatory with full marks and honour thanks to the counsel of Lucia Passaglia; he then advanced in his studies at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, in the class of Sergio Perticaroli, obtaining, in 2001, the three-year Advanced Course diploma once more with flying colours. In 2000, he also graduated in Organ and Organ Composition from the Florence Conservatory and then earned, in 2007, a 2nd-level degree in Piano, it goes without saying summa cum laude.
Still very young, he won various first prizes at prestigious national and international competitions, as Rome’s T.I.M. (Torneo Internazionale di Musica), the “Città di Albenga” National Competition, the “G. Benassi” International Competition in Pavia, and the “Debussy Prize” at the Stresa International Competition.
He constantly performs both as a solo pianist and organist in Italy and abroad (in Paris, Athens, Rhodes, Brussels, Antwerp, Chicago, Salzburg, Köln…) for prestigious concert societies, among them Milan’s Bocconi University, “Società dei Concerti” and “Società Umanitaria”, the Roosevelt University and Notre Dame University in the U.S.A, Temps Fort Musique and Accueil Musical in France, Polyphonia Atheneaum in Greece, OpusArtis in Spain, and Ljetni Festival Rovinj in Croatia. His discography includes “Liszt all’Opera: Paraphrases and Transcriptions” for the label Dynamic, “Bellini & Chopin: Chamber Arias and Piano Works” for the label Tactus, and, last but not least, the world premier recording of Pietro Mascagni’s Cantata “Alla Gioja” for Solo, Chorus and Piano, published by the label Concerto Classics.
“Andrea Trovato’s technique is flawless, his talent extraordinary. Under his magic touch, notes are as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew” (La Provence)
“Trovato chooses when to be «orchestra» or «voice». He convinced with overwhelming inebriation of sounds and colours” (La Nazione)
“Each note got its emphasis, its emotional and evocative intensity. The pianist coincided with the composer: musician and author merged in a fully aware performance” (Il Tirreno)
“Musical intuition tends like a bow. Any technical problem that may rise is easily solved” (Il Piccolo)
“Andrea Trovato’s performances may already be considered as a point of reference. As a matter of fact, he is an authentic pianist-musician” (Luigi Fait)
“He plays with fluidity and sensitivity the relationship between theater roots and Lisztian transfiguration” (L’Ape Musicale)
“Astounding and inspiring!” (Artistxite)
