Biography
"If she stays on this path, Maria Perrotta seems destined to become the Italian Rosalyn Tureck." (Corriere della Sera, 3rd March 2012)
A graduate of the Milan Conservatoire, of the École Normale de Musique in Paris and of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Maria Perrotta has won several awards in international piano competitions.
In 2004 she won 3rd Prize in the J. S. Bach International Piano Competition of Saarbrücken (Germany) gaining critical acclaim: "The crystal-clear sound, the ever-audible structure and stimulating phrasal articulation made this an ideal interpretation." (Allgemeine Zeitung)
Other awards include 2nd Prize (1st Prize void), as well as the Schubert Prize, in the 2006 Camillo Togni International Piano Competition and 1st Prize in the 2008 Shura Cherkassky International Piano Competition in Milan.
A prodigy, she made her debut with a symphony orchestra aged 11 performing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1 at the Rendano Theatre of Cosenza, Italy. Since then, she has performed in numerous venues across Europe.
Maria Perrotta has recorded for the labels ClassicaViva and Cinik Records and has broadcast on German and Italian radio. Her live recording (Cinik Records, 2012) of J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations received five stars and was selected as Disk of the Month in two major musical magazines in Italy (Suonare News and Musica).
