Composer, active worldwide both as a soloist and as a conductor, his performances include figurative art, literature and visuality.
«Italian pianist Alessandro Conti has achieved what the greatest music always demands. He has internalized it at the deepest way.
In a time when too many pianists are just phoning in a piano competition-ready performance to please their parents? teachers? managers? he has done the well-nigh impossible by meeting composer Philip Glass on his own -- dare I say spiritual grounds -- and making that music "speak" as few others have.
In this way he's like the revered and still living classical pianist Maurizio Pollini whose recorded performance of Brahms Op.34 lifts this ineffable piece to an even higher realm.
Conti's hands listen and the music listens and breathes its own in the very deepest way.
And who could ask for more?»
