His solo CD produced by Champs Hill Records, featuring works by Beethoven, Scriabin, and Mussorgsky, was released with great critical acclaim. He is now recording for Chandos Records, with whom he has released a much appreciated first album entirely dedicated to Scarlatti. “We seem to be listening to music unraveling and Colli’s delicacy at such points is miraculous.” (The Times)
He has been sharing the stage with Lang Lang, Martha Argerich, Nelson Freire, and Leonidas Kavakos, also appearing as cover star on the magazines Suonare News, Pianist, and Harmonie. Some of his concerts have been broadcast by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR), BBC Radio3, Rai Radio3, Deutschlandfunk, Polish Radio2, and RTÉ Lyric FM.
2019 starts with the release of the second CD produced by Chandos Records, with works by Bach and Bach-Busoni. Performances with orchestra include concerts with the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana (Evgeny Bushkov, Beethoven 3), Stamford Symphony Orchestra (Vladimir Kulenovic, Tchaikovsky 1), Hamburger Symphoniker (Ion Marin, Grieg Piano Concerto- Laeiszhalle Hamburg) and Philharmonia Orchestra (Andrew Nethsinga, Rachmaninov 2- London Royal Festival Hall). Then, solo recitals are scheduled at the Kumho Art Hall in Seoul, Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw, and Berlin Konzerthaus. In addition, the much-awaited CD entirely dedicated to the Scarlatti’s Sonatas Vol. 2 is made by Chandos Records.
Born in Brescia in 1988, he has been studying at the Milan Conservatory, Imola International Piano Academy and Salzburg Mozarteum, under the guidance of Sergio Marangoni, Konstantin Bogino, Boris Petrushansky, and Pavel Gililov. He received the “Grosso d’argento” as a prize for the international prestige given to his hometown, and the Music Section of the UK Critics’ Circle included him among the recipients of its 2018 Awards.
