About

- Beethoven’s (1770-1827) 9th symphony, arguably the greatest symphony of the entire 19-th century, a work of colossal dimensions, requiring the largest possible forces, in a transcription for… violin and piano!

- A task which seems futile and impossible, yet German composer and violinist Hans Sitt (1850-1922) achieves a remarkable and astonishingly powerful transcription for violin and piano, capturing the original impact and force of the music, using the full resources of both instruments to their extreme. And couldn’t Beethoven himself create a symphonic power in his Kreutzer violin sonata?

- Violinist Mauro Loguercio has performed as a soloist in prestigious halls, such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Accademia di S. Cecilia in Rome and the Tonhalle in Zurich, collaborating with conductors such as Riccardo Chailly, Eliau Inbal and Roberto Abbado. He has always nurtured a true passion for chamber music, ever since his appearance at a very young age at the Marlboro Festival. Throughout his career he has played in trios with Nikita Magaloff and Antonio Meneses, while in duos he has collaborated with Maria João Pires, Tamás Vásáry, Bruno Canino, Philip Fowke, Rocco Filippini, Franco Petracchi and Astor Piazzolla.

- Pianist Emanuela Piemonti is a soloist and chamber music player of international status. Essential experience is her collaboration with composers such as Kagel, De Pablo, Sciarrino, Kurtág, Francesconi, Fedele and Solbiati.
