Francesco Libetta

Francesco Libetta is an acclaimed Italian pianist, composer, and conductor known for his virtuosic technique and deep musical insight. Celebrated for performing daunting repertoire with elegance and clarity, Libetta gained international attention with his live performances of all 32 Beethoven sonatas, as well as his recordings of intricate works by Chopin, Liszt, and lesser-known composers like Giovanni Sgambati. Beyond his performing career, he's also a respected figure in the world of music education and musicology.

Libetta's interests go far beyond chops at the keyboard—he's also composed operas, orchestral works, and chamber music, often infusing his classical grounding with a lyrical, modern sensibility. As both a scholar and an artist, he's been praised for unearthing and championing underrepresented repertoire, such as the complete piano works of Sgambati and transcriptions by Liszt and others. Always curious, always exacting, Francesco Libetta continues to push boundaries, delighting classical music fans around the world.
