Margola / Deljavan Complete Piano Works CD

The piano work by Franco Margola, brilliant composer and teacher of the second half of the twentieth century, is presented for the first time in an integral edition within this release containing his greatest works and his didactic compositions that Margola continued writing even in his most advanced age. Here Margola's musical writing quality appears in all it's value, testifying the unconditional esteem his music enjoyed by one of the greatest pianists of all time, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, that often used to perform his works in concert. The performance is entrusted to the rare technical and expressive abilities of Alessandro Deljavan, a multi-award-winning top performer of the current international piano scene. Deljavan began studying the piano when he was only two years old, and after receiving a degree from the Conservatory of Milan, Italy, he was selected for the prestigious Lake Como International Piano Association where he studied with William Grant Nabore, Dimitri Bashkirov, Laurent Boullet, and others. His prizes include 5th place at the 2005 Gina Bachauer International Young Artists Competition, and 2nd prize at the 2010 Isang Yun Competition, South Korea.
