Edoardo Torbianelli is a renowned Italian classical pianist and harpsichordist. He was born on October 22, 1968, in Milan, Italy. Torbianelli grew up in a family of musicians, and his father was a well-known composer and conductor. He began playing the piano at a young age and showed exceptional talent and passion for music. Torbianelli studied at the Milan Conservatory and later at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Switzerland, where he specialized in early music and historical performance practice. He also studied with renowned pianists such as Maria Tipo and Murray Perahia. In 1992, Torbianelli won the prestigious International Harpsichord Competition in Bruges, Belgium, which launched his career as a soloist and chamber musician. He has since performed in major concert halls and festivals around the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Wigmore Hall in London, and the Lincoln Center in New York. Torbianelli is known for his virtuosic and expressive performances of both classical and contemporary repertoire. He has collaborated with many leading musicians and ensembles, including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, and the Hilliard Ensemble. One of Torbianelli's most notable performances was his interpretation of Bach's Goldberg Variations, which he recorded in 2000.
