Mauro Tortorelli

**Mauro Tortorelli** is an Italian classical violinist celebrated for his meticulous interpretations of Romantic-era repertoire, particularly the works of Franz Liszt and Italian composers. Known for his expressive phrasing and technical finesse, Tortorelli has carved a niche in reviving lesser-known gems and adapting piano-centric compositions for violin and piano. His recent projects, like *Italian Violin Sonatas* and *Santórsola: Music for Violin/Viola & Piano*, highlight his dedication to showcasing Italy’s rich musical heritage while bridging Romantic and 20th-century styles.

A frequent collaborator with pianist Angela Meluso, Tortorelli breathes fresh life into Liszt’s transcriptions and elegies, as heard in releases such as *Liszt: Elegies* and *Grand duo concertant*. His work often balances fiery virtuosity with lyrical introspection, whether navigating Rossini’s operatic flair or Santórsola’s modernist textures. While details about his early career remain scarce, his recordings reveal a musician deeply committed to expanding the violin repertoire and inviting listeners into overlooked corners of classical music with warmth and scholarly care.
