    FRANCESCO TRISTANO PIANO/COMPOSER FRANCESCO TRISTANO Signed to Sony Classical, Francesco Tristano is an artist of many talents: pianist, composer, techno and jazz musician and a key reference in a new movement exploring the creative intersection between classical and electronic music. Francesco often collaborates with important names in different genres such as Derrick May, Carl Craig and Michel Portal to name a few. In 2004, he won the first prize at the International piano competition for contemporary music in Orléans, France. After recent successes such as ‘A Soft Shell Groove’, Francesco continues to present new compositions regularly. Francesco has a growing discography including recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and complete keyboard concertos, Luciano Berio’s complete piano works, and Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Toccatas. On Deutsche Grammophon he released ‘BachCage’, produced by Moritz von Oswald, in 2011, ‘The Long Walk’ (Buxehetude/ Bach/ Tristano) in 2012, and ‘Scandale’ with Alice Sara Ott. His last album on Sony Classical: Piano Circle Songs was a huge success and charted at No.1 on iTunes in Germany, Switzerland and Austria on the day of release. His next album, Tokyo Stories, will be released in spring 2019 and is awaited with much anticipation. Recent and upcoming recital highlights include the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Royal Festival Hall, Funkhaus Berlin, the Sala São Paulo and Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janerio. In September 2018, Tristano also played at the re-opening of La Scala Paris.
