____________________________
Francesco Tristano, born on September 16, 1981, in Luxembourg City, is a multifaceted artist who seamlessly blends classical and electronic music into his compositions and performances. Tristano's journey into music began at a young age, leading to his study at conservatories across Luxembourg, Brussels, Riga, and Paris. His education culminated at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York, where he was mentored by notable figures such as Jerome Lowenthal, Bruce Brubaker, and Jacob Lateiner, among others.
Tristano's career is marked by his debut in 2000 with the Russian National Orchestra and his innovative transcriptions and adaptations, notably his original rendition of Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" for piano and strings. His dedication to both baroque and contemporary music is evident through his formation of The New Bach Players ensemble, with which he recorded Johann Sebastian Bach's complete cycle of Keyboard Concertos. His recordings also span the Goldberg Variations, French Suites, and collaborations with electronic music artists like Carl Craig and Murcof.
A pivotal moment in Tristano's career was his association with Deutsche Grammophon, recording projects that explored the intersections between classical composers such as Bach and Cage, and more modern pieces inspired by techno music. His work is a testament to his belief in music's universality, transcending genres and eras to create something truly unique.
Tristano's discography reflects his diverse talents, ranging from classical masterpieces to innovative electronic compositions. Albums like "Not For Piano," "Auricle Bio On," and "Idiosynkrasia" showcase his ability to reinterpret electronic music through classical piano, while "bachCage," "Long Walk," and "Scandale" highlight his classical interpretations and collaborations.
In recent years, Tristano has focused on solo projects with Sony Classical, releasing albums such as "Piano Circle Songs," "Tokyo Stories," and "On Early Music," further exploring the depths of piano music and its contemporary resonances. His ongoing project to record the complete works of Bach underlines his dedication to the classical tradition, while his participation in electronic music festivals and collaborations with techno artists underscore his innovative approach to music making.
