Bio
.. .. .. .. .. ...... Francesco Tristano, aged 25, is establishing himself as one of classical music’s rising stars. Growing up in Luxembourg of an Italian mother and living in Barcelona since 2003, he has an impressive CV; The winner of the 2004 Orleans International Contest, a highly prestigious competition dedicated to 20th Century classical music, he is a graduate of the very selective Juillard School in New York where he studied from 1998 to 2003, before studying at conservatories in Luxembourg, Brussels, and Paris…He recorded several albums (Ravel - Prokofiev - Schlimé in 2006, Luciano Berio – Complete Piano Works in 2005, J.S. Bach – The Complete Keyboard Concertos in 2004, Goldberg Variations in 2002…). Although as a child he loved Bach, Vivaldi, Scarletti, Berio and Francesconi, he was quick to develop an interest in a wide range of musical styles. While he dreamed of becoming a drummer, he was also fascinated by jazz and improvisation, along with contemporary and electronic music. A music lover with an insatiable appetite for discovery, he soon began to experiment with genres, periods, interpretations and improvisations during his concerts. The audiences could have been disconcerted, but instead they loved it. For Francesco Tristano, Not For Piano is an opportunity for open-ended playfulness. He mixes styles (classical, contemporary, jazz, techno) with an exceptional degree of maturity. It features Strings of life (previously released as a CD single, featuring remixes by Kiki and Apparat), as well as two new cover versions of electronic music. Firstly, The Bells, Jeff Mills’ rave anthem, which is here given a fluid, masterful treatment. Then, a delicate and dreamy interpretation of Overand, by the electronica geniuses Autechre (one of Francesco’s cult bands). On other tracks, Not For Piano unveils new compositions, written by a team of two or four (in collaboration with Rami Khalifé or Raimundo Penaforte). The album was produced and mastered by Murcof, the Mexican producer and champion of elegant and melodic electronica. With discretion and subtlety, his production adds exquisite electronic touches, and creates multiple layers of synthesized magic (notably on AP, a tribute to the French composer Pascal Dusapin). .. ..

bachCage - OUT SOON!

It’s a novelty that a young musician and composer is at the very same time a figure in the clubbing scene and in classical concert houses. Purists of both sides agree: they are both irritated by someone who does not stick to the rules. But Francesco is used to it. His debut album for the legendary classical record label Deutsche Grammophon “bachCage”, available from March 18th onwards, will surely feed this constant irritation from classical and techno fans: and that makes the artist so unique.
