Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi

Pianist Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi performs virtuoso piano repertory but is also an accomplished chamber music player. In addition, he is a noted jazz performer. As a solo pianist, Bianchi has specialized in virtuoso repertory and in lesser-known works; his debut recording came in 2010 with the first in a multi-volume series of releases devoted to composer Giorgio Federico Ghedini. Bianchi is perhaps best known as a collaborative pianist, working with a long and varied list of artists that includes violinist Francesca Dego. His jazz credits include work with pianist Enrico Pieranunzi and clarinetist Louis Sclavis. In the mid-2010s, Bianchi recorded Respighi's complete works for violin and piano with violinist Emy Bernecoli. In 2023, he was heard in a performance of Bruno Walter's Piano Quintet with the Aron Quartett.
