Fabio Bidini is one of the top-flight younger-generation pianists.
At the age of five he was given his first piano lessons and already half year later
he played his first public concert. In the following years he won eleven of the
most important Italian piano competitions, including always the Audience Prize
as well as all the special prizes.
He made his final graduation with “Magna cum Laude” and was one of the
youngest graduates ever of the prestigious “Conservatorio Santa Cecilia” in
Rome.
Pianists who made a significant contribution to his artistic development are
Orazio Frugoni and Maria Tipo.
After winning top prizes in the most famous international piano competitions
his sensational success at the Busoni and at the Van Cliburn International Piano
Competition opened him the door to a constantly growing international career.
Fabio Bidini now is recognized as one of the foremost young pianist to have
emerged from Italy since the days of Michelangeli.
His outstanding piano playing that combines technical wizardry with poetic
lyricism and his fascinating culture of the attack of the keyboard brought him to
have a glowing London debut in the Barbican Center with the London
Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas in the presence
of Sir Georg Solti, Barbara Hendricks and James Galway in 1992. Shortly after,
he had his highly acclaimed North American debut with the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra under Joel Levi.
Since then Fabio Bidini is a frequent guest of the best orchestras worldwide (San
Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Chamber
Orchestra of Philadelphia, The Philharmonia Orchestra of London, BBC
Orchestra Wales) playing in the world´s most famous halls (Carnegie Hall,
Kimmel Center Philadelphia, Kennedy-Center Washington, Royal Festival Hall,
Davies Hall, Tonhalle Zürich, Gewandhaus Leipzig, Rudolfinum, Auditorio
Nacionál - Madrid, Auditorio de Zaragoza, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, among
others).
He collaborated successfully with leading conductors of our time like: Michael
Tilson Thomas, Ivan Fischer, Andrey Boreyko, Zoltan Kocsis, Eri Klas,
GianAndrea Noseda, Barry Wordsworth, Yoel Levi, Pavel Kogan, Louis Lane,
Tadaaki Otaka, Mathias Bamert, Jesus Lopez Cobos, Jorge Mester, JoAnn
Falletta, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Max Valdes, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Ignat Solzhenitsyn,
Keri-Lynn Wilson, Michael Christie, Thomas Hanus, David Itkin, Joel Levine,
Frank Beermann, Thomas Hanus, Daniel Klajner, Carlos Prieto, Jorge Hanson,
Rossen Milanov, Keri-Lynn Wilson, among others.
He was repeatedly invited to perform at prestigious festivals (Tuscan Sun
Festival Cortona/ Napa, Festival Radio France Montpellier LanguedocRoussillon, La Roque d’Anthéron International Piano Festival, Stern Grove
Festival, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli International Piano Festival/ Brescia
and Bergamo, Festival dei due Mondi).
His repertory is tremendously vast, it contains 84 piano concerti and the piano
works from the baroque to the modern era.
TA L E N T
M U S I C
Fabio Bidini is also greatly in demand as a chamber music partner. He enjoyed
artistic collaboration with the American String Quartet, the Janacek Quartett,
the Brodsky Quartett, the Szymanowski Quartet, the Modigliani Quartet, the
Quartetto di Fiesole, Zoltan Kocsis, Nikolaj Znaider, Wolfgang Emanuel
Schmidt, Paula Robison, Corey Cerovsek, Wendy Warner, Eva Urbanova, Eva
Mei, Roberto Fabbriciani, Alexis-Pia Gerlach, Nina Kotova, Dimitri Ashkenazy
e Sabrina-Vivian Höpcker
With the latter he is forming a stable duo. With the publication of their debut
CD of sonatas of S. Prokofieff and R.Strauss they layed the foundations for an
extensive collaboration with the US American label True Sounds.
Fabio Bidini´s discography comprises thirteen CDs of leading recording
companies like BMG, Classichord, Musikstrasse, EPR, True Sounds, among
others.
CDs can be found directly on this homepage under the chapter “CDs” and can

Norma Fisher is acclaimed internationally as one of the UK’s leading pianists
and teachers. As a child she was recognized as ‘a rare musical talent’ winning an
exhibition, at the age of eleven, to study with Sidney Harrison at the Guildhall
School of Music. At the age of fourteen she came to the attention of the
celebrated Greek pianist Gina Bachauer who became her mentor, introducing
her to the distinguished Hungarian teacher Ilona Kabos, with whom she
subsequently studied. A period was also spent in Paris studying French music
with Jacques Fevrier. Her many, highly acclaimed, early performances for the
BBC led to an invitation by the German radio station RIAS, in Berlin, to make
her debut with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra - which launched her career in
Europe. Success in the Busoni International Piano Competition as a top prizewinner followed and on sharing the much-coveted Piano Prize in the Harriet
Cohen International Music Awards with Vladimir Ashkenazy, her international
reputation was sealed. During the same period she made her debut at the
Proms in the Royal Albert Hall and became a favorite soloist with leading
British orchestras including the London Philharmonic, Philharmonia, London
Symphony, Royal Philharmonic, BBC Symphony, Hallé, Bournemouth
Symphony, and the City of Birmingham Symphony orchestras. Norma Fisher is
known for her versatility as a performer, receiving recognition worldwide as one
of Britain’s leading pianists. This versatility extends to chamber music, which she
plays with leading musicians throughout the world. Her early relationship with
the Dartington, Allegri and Delme String Quartets led to a much sought-after
partnership with the Stamic Quartet of Prague, both in the UK and the Czech
Republic. She has also performed regularly with the International Chamber
Ensemble of Rome, Carmina Quartet and Reykjavik Wind Quintet and
partnered such well known soloists as Stephanie Gonley, Alan Hacker, Maurice
Hasson, Emanuel Hurwitz, Ralph Kirshbaum, Steven Isserlis, Peter Lukas Graf,
Gyorgy Pauk, Hu Kun, Sylvia Rosenberg, Grigori Zhislin, Yossi Zivoni and
singers Benjamin Luxon, Sherrill Milnes, Nelly Miricioiu and Sir John
Tomlinson. Her reputation as a teacher is widely established and many of her
top prize-winning students are well known on the international concert circuit.
She is a Professor of Piano at the Royal College of Music and a Fellow of the
Royal Northern College of Music. She is invited to give masterclasses
throughout the world and has taught at the International Musician’s Seminar at
Prussia Cove, UK, the International Summer Academy in Lenk, Switzerland and
the Horowitz Foundation Summer Music Academy in Kiev, Ukraine, amongst
many others. She is regularly invited on the Jury of leading international piano
competitions including Gina Bachauer (USA), Horowitz (Kiev, Ukraine),
Joanna Hodges (USA), Boston Grand Amateurs (USA), Newport (Wales),
Sydney (Australia), Tbilisi (Georgia) and Virginia Waring (USA). She is the
Artistic Director of London Master Classes whose courses attract major talent
from around the world to work intensively with top performers/teachers in
