Gabriele Baldocci

[1][2] After studying with Ilio Barontini, Franco Scala, William Grant Naboré, and Sergio Perticaroli and having studied with or having been coached by Alicia De Larrocha, Leon Fleisher, and Dmitri Bashkirov at the International Piano Foundation “Theo and Petra Lieven” in Cadenabbia, Baldocci began an intense solo career performing in important venues worldwide (Tonhalle in Zurich, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Sala Verdi in Milan).

His large repertoire ranges from Bach to contemporary music and is especially focused on the composers of the Romantic Period such as Fryderyk Chopin (of whom he has recorded the complete Ballades and Impromptus), Franz Liszt,[3] and Robert Schumann.

More recently, Gabriele Baldocci has advanced his career as a conductor,[7] collaborating with important orchestras in Europe and America, and he cultivates his interest for cinema producing and directing short and feature movies.
