Recently elected Newcomer of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> by BBC <strong>Music</strong> magazine, 27-year-old Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi is one of <strong>the</strong> most<br />
sought-after artists of his generation. For his first international recital, Avanti Classic—in collaboration with Radio Svizzeria Italiana<br />
and <strong>the</strong> Borletti-Buitoni Trust—gave him carte blanche. Starting with Handel’s Suite in B-flat major, Piemontesi builds a fascinating<br />
program reflecting <strong>the</strong> influence of Handel and Bach’s music on Brahms’ and Liszt’s works. The narrative quality of his musical<br />
discourse, his deep understanding of counterpoint, and his quest for perfection will thrill music lovers around <strong>the</strong> globe.<br />
