Bruno Canino is considered to be one of the greatest chamber musicians and pianists of our time. He studied piano with Vincenzo Vitale and composition with Bruno Bettinelli at the Naples Conservatory. He was immediately spotted at international competitions in Bolzano and Darmstadt, and soon began a long and prosperous concert career around the world in the company of artists, such as Cathy Barberian, Severino Gazzelloni, Salvatore Accardo, and Viktoria Mullova. With great perseverance, he dedicates himself to the modern and contemporary repertoire. Among his more important CDs are Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Casella’s entire piano opus, and first Debussy’s complete piano opus. He taught piano in Milan and at the Hochschule in Bern. For nine years he was also music director of the Youth Orchestra of Genova, and for two years music director of the Venice Biennale.
