About

Franz Liszt’s project of transcribing all of Beethoven’s symphonies took him 25 years to complete. His approach retains a deep fidelity to the original score with piano writing that is sumptuously rich and always perfectly suited to the instrument and its possibilities. A celebration of music as an independent and absolute language, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is considered the perfect utterance of his musical philosophy, while the Second Symphony looks to the future as it wrestles with the conventions of symphonic tradition. Gabriele Baldocci’s second volume in this edition (CDS7771) was admired in ClassicsToday.com, in which the “Beethoven/Liszt ‘Eroica’ symphony transcription conveys an impressive, multilevelled pianistic sheen”.

Gabriele Baldocci, a pianist of formidable capabilities, has achieved global recognition for his unique style, visionary programming, and versatile artistic personality. He has performed at prestigious venues worldwide and is known for his live classical improvisation events. Baldocci has recorded a wide range of repertoire, including Liszt-Beethoven Complete Symphonies and collaborations with Martha Argerich and Marco Fornaciari. He began his career as a child prodigy and has won prizes in renowned piano competitions. Baldocci is an esteemed educator, serving as a professor at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Head of Keyboard at Haileybury.
