Gabriele Baldocci

Gabriele Baldocci’s unique style, visionary programming, and eclectic artistic

personality have garnered him international critical acclaim and a devoted following

on the global music scene. As both a pianist and a composer, Baldocci bridges the

worlds of classical performance and original creation with equal depth and integrity.

Jed Distler, writing for Gramophone, hailed him as “a pianist of formidable

capabilities.” His career has taken him to many of the world’s most prestigious

concert halls and festivals.

A passionate advocate for live classical improvisation, he has pioneered innovative
events that tastefully blur the boundaries between musical genres. His discography
includes highly acclaimed recordings such as a live recital with Martha Argerich, the
complete works of Nino Rota for violin and piano (and for viola and piano with
Marco Fornaciari), Chopin’s Ballades and Impromptus, Respighi’s works for piano
duo with Federico Caramiello, and the complete Beethoven Symphonies in Liszt’s
solo piano transcriptions.

His album Sheer Piano Attack, where he reimagines Queen’s repertoire as if it were
composed by Liszt, gained widespread success after being promoted by the band
Queen themselves across all their official platforms. His performances are regularly
broadcast on international TV and radio, and he was the subject of a documentary
produced by Sky Classica.

As a composer, Baldocci released the album Ageless, marking the beginning of a
neoclassical and cinematic journey in which piano, electronics, and emotional
storytelling merge into a deeply personal and recognizable language. His
collaboration with Asaf Avidan on the album In a Box III includes acoustic
arrangements and accompanying videos released in 2024. His projects also include
original compositions co-written with Genesis founder Anthony Phillips, as well as
live performances with renowned actors Michele Placido and Amanda Sandrelli.
An active educator and communicator, Gabriele is a professor at Trinity Laban
Conservatoire of Music in London, founder and director of the London Piano
Centre and the Milton Keynes Music Academy, and he frequently gives masterclasses at the world’s most esteemed universities and academies.
