Sebastiano Brusco

Sebastiano Brusco is an eclectic pianist and a sophisticated interpreter, who can also compose and improvise.He studied with famous pianists coming from prestigious schools, and formed his personality through an anti-academic research of his own stylistic aesthetics, never accepting compromises.What can be appreciated in his interpretations is above all a true way of playing, which has the purpose of reaching the music's comunicability.

Although he is a virtuoso, his talent is never the expression of its own end. It can be claimed that Sebastiano Brusco's interpretations are not at all expressions of his almost annihilated ego, but that they rather let the imagination live along the paths that music is able to rouse.
