Emanuele Delucchi

Emanuele Delucchi is an Italian pianist celebrated for his fearless dive into the most technically demanding corners of piano literature. Known for his velvet touch and laser-focused precision, he’s become a go-to interpreter for composers like Godowsky, Medtner, and Ljapunov—artists whose works push pianists to their limits. His recordings, including deep cuts like Godowsky’s labyrinthine *Complete Studies on Chopin* and Medtner’s introspective *Forgotten Melodies*, showcase both his athletic virtuosity and knack for uncovering emotional depth in complex scores. Delucchi doesn’t just stick to the classics; he’s also breathed life into lesser-known gems, like Czerny’s *48 Preludes & Fugues*, and even flexes his own creative chops with original compositions on his album *Delucchi: Piano Music*.

When he’s not resurrecting overlooked repertoire, Delucchi collaborates across genres, as seen in projects like *Le son du cor*, where he accompanies soprano and horn in shimmering French chamber works. His playing balances scholarly rigor with a contagious enthusiasm—whether he’s untangling Sorabji’s thorny variations or navigating Stravinsky’s rhythmic puzzles. For fans of piano pyrotechnics and romantic grandeur alike, Delucchi’s recordings feel like a guided tour through music’s most thrilling, underappreciated landscapes.
