Schubert: Late Piano Works, Vol. 1

Andrea Lucchesini has called Franz Schubert’s late piano works his “recent great love.” Now he acts out this love in three albums for audite- masterful performances by the renowned Italian pianist whose interpretations are informed by his expertise in Beethoven as well as musical modernism. Trained under the guidance of Maria Tipo, Andrea Lucchesini gained international recognition at a very young age when he won the Dino Ciani International Competition at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Since then he has performed throughout the world with leading orchestras under conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, and others. In addition to his vast performing career, he is passionately dedicated to teaching. He currently teaches at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole where he also served as artistic director from 2008 to 2016. He serves as a jury member at numerous international piano competitions and was appointed Accademico di Santa Cecilia in 2008.
