Antonio Pappano
Born in London in 1959 to Italian parents, Antonio Pappano studied piano, composition and conducting in the United States. His work as a pianist and assistant conductor quickly launched him on the international scene. In 1987 Pappano made his debut conducting opera with La Bohème at the Norske Opera of Oslo, where he was named Music Director in 1990. When he was only 32 years old, Pappano was named Music Director of the Théatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, where besides directing many opera productions, he continued to perform as a pianist, accompanying numerous singers in various recital series.

In 1993 Pappano made a spectacular debut at the Vienna Staatsoper, when he stepped in at the last moment to substitute for Cristoph von Dohnànyi, conducting a new production of Wagner's Siegfried to unanimous acclaim. He went on to debut at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1997 and at the Bayreuth Festival in 1999.

Maestro Pappano has conducted many of the world's major symphony orchestras, including the Boston Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Bayerische Rundfunk, the London Symphony, the Orchestre de Paris and the Munich Philharmonic. In 1997 he was named Principal Guest Conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

In September 2002 Pappano became Music Director at Covent Garden in London, and since October 2005 he has been Music Director of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

Antonio Pappano records exclusively for EMI Classics, for which he has recorded La Bohème, Don Carlos, La Rondine, the Puccini triptych, Werther, Manon and Il Trovatore. He has also recorded Wintermarchen for DG and The Turn of the Screw for Accord. With the Covent Garden Orchestra he has recorded, among other projects, Wagner with Placido Domingo, Strauss with Natalie Dessay, Tosca and Tristan und Isolde. Many of his recordings have received important recognition: two Gramophone Awards, two Diapason d'or, the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis and many other awards from international critics. In 2000, he was voted "Artist of the Year" by Gramophone Magazine and in 2005, he was named "Conductor of the Year" by the Royal Philharmonic Society.

In 2005 Antonio Pappano also received the "Abbiati" Prize, awarded by Italian Music Critics, for his conducting of the Requiems by Brahms, Britten and Verdi together with the Artistic Ensembles of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. On 16 April, 2007 Antonio Pappano was named an Active Accademician of Santa Cecilia and and in December 2008 the title of Commander of the Order of Merit was conferred on him by the President of the Italian Republic. He has made several recordings with the Santa Cecilia Orchestra for the EMI label: two all-Tchaikovsky CDs (Overtures & Fantasies and the last three symphonies by the great Russian composer); one with cellist Han Na Chang entitled Romance with music by Lalo, Dvorák, Glazunov and Saint-Saens; and another devoted to music by Respighi. In 2008 Maestro Pappano directed a recording of Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly (commemorating the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth), while in September 2009 his "live" recording of the Verdi Requiem was released. On 2 October 2009 Antonio Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia Orchestra's recording of Puccini's Madama Butterfly won a Classic FM Gramophone Award in the opera category.

Here, surely, we have the truest successor to the great Russian pianists. (Gramophone)

Boris Berezovsky has established a great reputation, both as the most powerful of virtuoso pianists and as a musician gifted with a unique insight and a great sensitivity.

Born in Moscow, Boris Berezovsky studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Eliso Virsaladze and privately with Alexander Satz. Subsequent to his London debut at the Wigmore Hall in 1988, The Times described him as "an artist of exceptional promise, a player of dazzling virtuosity and formidable power". Two years later, he won the Gold Medal at the 1990 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.

Boris Berezovsky is regularly invited by the most prominent orchestras including the Philharmonia of London, the New York Philharmonic, the Munich Philharmonic, the Oslo Philharmonic, the Danish National Radio Symphony, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, the NDR Hamburg Orchestra, the Residentie Orkest, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Orchestre National de France among others. 

Boris Berezovsky is often invited to the most prestigious international recitals series: The Berlin Philharmonic Piano serie, Concertgebouw International piano serie and the Royal Festival Hall Internatinal Piano series in London, to the great stages as the Théatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, the Palace of fine Arts in Brussells, the Konzerthaus of Vienna, the Megaron in Athena... and to the most famous internatonal festivals in Verbier, Salzbourg, la Roque d'Anthéron among others.

His partners in Chamber Music are Brigitte Engerer, Vadim Repin, Dmitri Makhtin, and Alexander Kniazev.

With Teldec, Boris Berezovksy has recorded works of Chopin, Schumann, Rachmaninov, Mussorgsky, Balakirev, Medtner, Ravel and the complete Liszt Transcendental Studies. His recording of the Rachmaninov sonatas was awarded the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and his Ravel disc was recommended by Le Monde de la Musique, Diapason, The BBC Music Magazine and the Sunday Independent. 

In August 2004, the DVD of The Tchaikovsky Pieces for piano, violin and cello and Trio Elegiaque "A La Mémoire d'un grand artiste" recorded by the Trio B.Berezovsky, D.Makhtin, A.Kniazev received the Diapason d'Or. The DVD was broadcasted on the TV channels ARTE and NHK in Japan.

In October 2004, with Warner Classics International, Boris Berezovsky, Alexander Kniazev and Dmitri Makhtin recorded the Shostakovitch Trio No. 2 and Rachmaninov Trio Elégiaque No. 2, which were awarded Choc de la Musique in France, the Gramophone in England, and the Echo Classic 2005 in Germany. His solo live recording Chopin/Godowsky which got released in January 2006, received the Diapason d'Or and the RTL d'Or. Boris Berezovsky also won the BBC Music Magazine Awards in March 2006 as Best Instrumentalist.

With Mirare Harmonia Mundi, Boris Berezovsky recorded the Rachmaninov Preludes as well as the complete Rachmaninov Piano concertos with the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dmitri Liss, and another CD for two pianos dedicated to Rachmaninov with Brigitte Engerer which received several great prizes.

His last CD, recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall of London and at La Grange de Meslay in Tours, which has been released in January 2010, is devoted to Liszt.
Presenter
The Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
The Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia was the first in Italy to devote itself exclusively to the symphonic repertoire, promoting the premieres of important 20th century masterworks.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Orchestra has performed about 14,000 concerts, collaborating with the major musical figures of the epoch. It has been conducted by Mahler, Debussy, Strauss, Stravinsky, Hindemith, Toscanini, Furtwangler, De Sabata and Karajan, among others. Its permanent conductors have been Bernardino Molinari, Franco Ferrara, Fernando Previtali, Igor Markevitch, Thomas Schippers, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Daniele Gatti and Myung-Whun Chung. From 1983 to 1990, Leonard Bernstein was its Honorary President. In October 2005 Antonio Pappano took the helm as the Orchestra's new Music Director.

During the 2005-06 season it performed in Madrid with Rostropovich, in Budapest, at the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona and at the Dresden Semperoper (the Stabat Mater by Rossini, conducted by Pappano). The 2006-07 season opened with the resounding successes garnered by Maestro Pappano and the Orchestra at Teatro La Fenice in Venice and at La Scala (after a 50-year absence from the Milanese theater). In March 2007 the Orchestra, with Pappano on the podium, toured Germany, Switzerland and Austria, making stops in impressive venues such as the Vienna Musikverein where they received heartfelt ovations and glowing reviews. In summer 2007 the Orchestra earned additional raves during tours to Japan and Moscow. In February 2008, on the occasion of its first centennial, the Orchestra toured Italy (appearing in Perugia, Parma, Ferrara and Torino), performing its 1908 debut program.

After a long collaboration with Decca which produced memorable historic recordings, followed by a lengthy hiatus, the Orchestra has been recording intensively in recent years. Among its latest recordings, which have garnered impressive recognition (the Diapason d'Or Award and a Grammy nomination) especially noteworthy are a series of CDs conducted by Maestro Chung devoted to sacred music, on the occasion of the Jubilee Year.

In 2007, the Orchestra released two all-Tchaikovsky CDs on the EMI label (Overtures & Fantasies and the last three symphonies by the great Russian composer), a CD with cellist Han-Na Chang entitled Romance, and the Roman Trilogy by Ottorino Respighi, all under the direction of Antonio Pappano. In 2008 the Orchestra recorded Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly (for the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth). Its "live" recording of the Verdi Requiem was released in September 2009.

On October 2, 2009 Antonio Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia Orchestra's recording of Puccini's Madama Butterfly won a Classic FM Gramophone Award in the opera category. This year has brought the Orchestra even wider recognition; it was recently voted one of the top 10 orchestras in the world by the UK's Classic FM Magazine.
