BENEDETTO LUPO

“His interpretations, free from any predictability and routine, are entirely personal, thoughtful and fresh… The public listened to him in that rapt silence, reserved for the best way of making music”: the words of the Washington Post effectively convey the reasons why every Benedetto Lupo concert is unmissable. The victory in 1989, as the first Italian, at the prestigious Van Cliburn International Competition marked his unstoppable rise and led him to collaborate with the main American and European orchestras, from the Boston Symphony to the London Philharmonic, at the invitation of great conductors such as Yves Abel, Vladimir Jurowski and Kent Nagano. A regular guest at the most important institutions, including the Lincoln Center in New York, the Salle Pleyel in Paris, the Wigmore Hall in London and the Philharmonie in Berlin, he has recorded for numerous European and American radio and television stations. He is an active academic of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia.
