On this new release, a young, talented Italian pianist plays Liszt’s greatest works in St. Petersburg alongside the Saint Petersburg Music Hall Orchestra with conductor Fabio Mastrangelo. Alessandro Ambrosoli was born in Turin the 16th December, 1969. As a child, he took piano lessons with various teachers. Finally, at 12 years of age, he met Giorgio Costa, who was able to blend the complex personality of Alessandro Ambrosoli with his own musical knowledge and technical capacities. Under the guidance of Giorgio Costa, Alessandro Ambrosoli improved his natural talents, won prizes in a number of national and international competitions and took the decision to study Liszt, feeling that the music of the Hungarian composer was a positive challenge. His prior Liszt release received gleaming reviews, and this album, recorded in 2002 and 2015, will surely meet the same level of artistry.
