“A musician of great talent…such passion provokes my unconditional praise”
– Aldo Ciccolini

An artist who combines a robust tone and elegant technique with profound intellectual and
emotional understanding, Stefano Greco, who became a Steinway Artist in 2007, is fast building
a reputation as one of the finest Italian pianists of his generation.

His debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall (Zankel) was met by a lengthy standing ovation, and
widely acclaimed by both the public and critics. Stefano gave his Wigmore Hall debut, where he
presented an ingenious programme which brought to light masterpieces of contrapuntal music,
including the world premieres of fugues by Puccini and Dinu Lipatti. Other notable recital
appearances include a tour of seven cities in Central and South America (Mexico, Brasil,
Argentina and Chile), a concert tour of United States, Canada and Japan, during which Stefano
gave his début at numerous prestigious venues such as New York’s Lincoln Center and the
Opera City Concert Hall in Tokyo. As well as frequent recital, chamber music and concerto
appearances in Italy, Stefano has also performed in Amsterdam, The Hague, Prague, Hamburg,
Aleppo and Damascus.

Stefano’s frequent broadcasts for radio and TV have included appearances on CNN, RAI etc.
Stefano is an exclusive recording artist with Brancusi Classics. His recordings for Brancusi to
date include the first world complete series of Händel’s Keyboard Suites, Bach’s The Art of Fugue
and Golbderg Variations.

Stefano studied initially at the Conservatory Tito Schipa in Lecce, Italy with Antonio Serrano,
with Hector Pell at the Accademia Superiore in Barletta and with Aldo Ciccolini, in Rome and
Trinitapoli. Stefano’s profound passion for music in general and for J. S. Bach in particular has
prompted him to undertake intensive study and research, and next year his first book about
Bach will be published and distributed in Italy, the UK, USA and Germany.

Stefano is increasingly in demand for his teaching, and in spare moments away from the
platform and recording studio enjoys giving international master classes and lectures at
institutions such as New York Bard College, the California State University and New York
University, working with students on repertoire ranging from keyboard pieces by William Byrd to
contemporary works for piano.
