About this concert

After receiving the Critics’ Prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition (1990), Pietro De Maria won First Prize in the Dino Ciani – Teatro La Scala in Milan (1990), the Géza Anda in Zurich (1994) and the Mendelssohn Award in Hamburg (1997).

He has since performed with many of the world’s leading conductors. His repertoire ranges from Bach to Ligeti. He is the first Italian pianist to have played Chopin’s complete piano works in public concerts. These works have been recorded by Decca and received critical acclaim from international publications including five stars from Diapason, International Piano and Amadeus.

‘Pietro De Maria played with such incredible lucidity and technically perfect artistry of touch that one was reminded of the young Pollini’ Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
