Vincenzo Maltempo

In September 2014 he was nominated "Honorary Member" of the London Alkan Society.

His first recording was released in 2008 by Gramola and dedicated to Franz Liszt. Afterwards, from 2011, he began a series of recordings with Piano Classics dedicated to Charles-Valentin Alkan, of which composer he is considered nowadays one of the most important and devoted advocates ("With these passionate recordings Maltempo confirms his place in the restricted circle of Alkan's best performers"). His CDs have gained great approval by the international critics, obtaining five stars in reviews on such papers like The Guardian and Diapason. Furthermore, he is one of the few pianists who has recorded the complete set of Alkan's Études Op. 39 and one of the three pianists who played so far the complete set of these Etudes in one concert (November 2, 2013 in Yokohama, Minato Mirai Hall, Japan).

He began his musical studies with Salvatore Orlando, disciple of the pianist Sergio Fiorentino, with whom he graduated at S. Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, Summa cum Laude. From 2006 to 2009 he attended the courses held by Riccardo Risaliti at the International Piano Academy "Incontri col Maestro" in Imola.

In 2006 he won the XXIII Competition "Premio Venezia", in Teatro "La Fenice" (Venice, Italy), and began an successfully international career playing in the Theater "La Fenice" in Venice, "Teatro Lirico" in Cagliari, the "Liszt Festival" in Austria, and in concert halls in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Mexico, USA and Japan.
