Giuseppe Albanese - Liszt: Piano Concertos (2018) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

This young Italian pianist is not only a formidable technician but also an original musical thinker whose performances seek to illuminate, after unconventional ways, the true nature of the repertoire he plays” - Jeffrey Tate (2004).

“In my opinion Giuseppe Albanese is one of the best young Italian pianists who have emerged in recent years. He performed the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto in D minor with me on two occasions, and I was very impressed with his musicianship, pianism and expressive talent. It stands out in my memory." - James Conlon (2004)
