Vincenzo Maltempo

The artistic personality of Vincenzo Maltempo has found an important place in the heterogeneous international piano scene thanks to his demanding work on Charles Valentin Alkan’s music, of whom he is now considered one of the most authoritative interpreters and scholars in the world.
To Alkan he dedicated numerous recordings and a book (the first in Italian) published in 2020 by Florestano Edizioni. He is an honorary member of the “Alkan Society” in London.

His extensive discography includes CD dedicated to Alkan, Liszt, Beethoven, Schumann, and to complete opus such as the 10 Piano Sonatas by Scriabin, the 12 Transcendental Studies by Lyapunov, the 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies of Liszt, the 2 Concertos for Piano and Orchestra by Brahms, the complete piano works by Paul Dukas. His works are enthusiastically reviewed in magazines such as Diapason, The Guardian, PianoNews, Gramophone and many others. Andrew Clements himself on the Guardian defines Maltempo’s interpretations as “exhilarating, a real revelation!”.

Winner, in 2006, of the piano competition “Premio Venezia” (Teatro La Fenice, Venice), his international concert career saw him performing, since then, in the most important festivals and venues in Europe, America and Asia.
Vincenzo Maltempo wrote many transcriptions of instrumental and orchestral works that are published by Ries & Erler in Berlin and by MusePress in Tokyo.
Since 2019 he collaborates with the prestigious German publishing house G. Henle Verlag.

Devoted teacher, Vincenzo Maltempo was one of the founders and a piano teacher of the “Imola Piano Academy – Talent development Eindhoven”, a piano Academy in the Netherlands founded under the advocacy of the International Piano Academy “Incontri col Maestro” in Imola. He taught at the European Arts Academy “Aldo Ciccolini” in Trani, Italy, and he regularly gives Masterclasses in many Conservatories and cities in Italy, Europe and abroad.

He is the founder and Artistic Director of the International Piano Competition “Premio Alkan per il virtuosismo pianistico romantico”, in Milan (Italy).

He lives in Turin and is a piano teacher at the Alessandria Conservatory.
