Sandro Ivo Bartoli

[1] His performance of the concertos of Respighi (Bedford, 1991), Malipiero (London, 1994) and Casella (1995), was followed by the first modern production in the United States of Ottorino Respighi's Toccata for piano and orchestra, with the Johnson City Symphony under Lewis Dalvit which was broadcast live by PBS and added to PBS' Great Performances series.

He joined with Italian composer Antonio Tabucchi, for a production at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and then the Festival of Aix-en-Provence to a positive reception.

[2] In 2002, Bartoli produced the music for Fernando Pessoa's Book of disquiet, at the Festival d'Avignon in "Antonio Tabucchi", and was pianist, arranger and composer.

[2] In 2005, Bartoli performed in a benefit concert at Munich's Philharmonie with Martha Argerich and Rodion Shchedrin, and accomplished the world premiere recording of Malipiero's piano concertos with the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Saarbruecken under Michele Carulli for CPO, which was the basis of a documentary film by the French director Miroslav Sebestik, titled "Pianiste-Interpréte",[3] released in 2014.

The following year, Bartoli recorded Ottorino Respighi's Concerto in modo misolidio and Toccata for piano and orchestra with the Landesbühnen Sachsen under Michele Carulli for the Dutch label Brilliant Classics, beginning an artistic partnership with the label that has since seen the release of six albums with a diverse repertoire spanning from Busoni's Fantasia Contrappuntistica to an album devoted to Frescobaldi (The Frescobaldi Legacy - 5 De Diapason 2013), and encompassing the Liszt-Busoni transcriptions and the complete Bach-Busoni transcriptions.
