Bruno Canino and Antonio Ballista play Debussy on a Borgato grand piano, concert for Società del Quartetto di Vicenza

Debussy Bruno Canino Antonio Ballista

Nel 1953 Antonio Ballista e Bruno Canino si incontrarono al Conservatorio di Milano nella stessa classe di pianoforte e, spinti da voracità musicale pari solo alla loro curiosità, incominciarono a leggere insieme una grande quantità di musica. Si presentarono prestissimo in pubblico dando inizio a una fortunata carriera che si è protratta fino a oggi senza interruzioni. Nel campo della “Neue Musik” le loro esecuzioni hanno avuto un valore storico: la loro presenza è stata fondamentale per la diffusione delle nuove opere e per la funzione catalizzatrice esercitata sui compositori. Il repertorio contemporaneo, infatti, si è arricchito di molte composizioni dedicate al duo: dal Concerto di Luciano Berio per due pianoforti e orchestra eseguito in prima mondiale a New York, con la New York Philharmonic diretta da Pierre Boulez, la cui incisione discografica con la London Symphony sotto la direzione dell’autore valse al duo un prestigioso Music Critic Award, fino al più recente Cloches II di Franco Donatoni.
Il duo ha suonato sotto la direzione di Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Frans Brüggen, Riccardo Chailly, Bruno Maderna, Riccardo Muti, e con orchestre come BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, Filarmonica della Scala, London Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic. Compositori quali Dallapiccola, Boulez, Kagel, Ligeti e Cage hanno collaborato con il duo in occasione di numerosi concerti, e Stockhausen ha partecipato in prima persona a una lunga tournée della sua opera Mantra. Oltre a una scelta vastissima di musica contemporanea, nel loro repertorio figurano le integrali di Brahms, Debussy, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Schubert, Schumann e Stravinskij.

In 1953 Antonio Ballista and Bruno Canino met at the Milan Conservatory in the same piano class and, driven by a musical voracity equal only to their curiosity, they began to read a great deal of music together. They appeared very early in public, starting a successful career that has continued until today without interruption. In the field of "neue musik" their performances have had a historical value: their presence has been fundamental for the diffusion of new works and for the catalyst function exerted on the composers. The contemporary repertoire, in fact, has been enriched with many compositions dedicated to the duo: from the Concertoby Luciano Berio for two pianos and orchestra performed in world premiere in New York, with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Pierre Boulez, whose recording with the London Symphony under the author's direction earned the duo a prestigious Music Critic Award, until to the more recent Cloches II by Franco Donatoni.
The duo has performed under the baton of Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, Frans Brüggen, Riccardo Chailly, Bruno Maderna, Riccardo Muti, and with orchestras such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, Filarmonica della Scala, London Symphony, Orchester de Paris, Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic. Composers such as Dallapiccola, Boulez, Kagel, Ligeti and Cage have collaborated with the duo in numerous concerts, and Stockhausen has personally participated in a long tour of his opera Mantra . In addition to a vast choice of contemporary music, their repertoire includes integral works by Brahms, Debussy, Mozart, Rachmaninov, Schubert, Schumann and Stravinsky.
