Livia
     Mazzanti

With a vast interpretative scope, Livia Mazzanti has always been distinguished by her personal conception of concert programs. She is also an improviser, an art passed on to her by Giacinto Scelsi in Rome and then by Jean Guillou, with whom she studied extensively in Paris.

 

Her recordings of works by Schoenberg, Busoni, Hindemith, Scelsi, and Guillou, as well as her world premiere recordings of the complete organ works of Rota and Castelnuovo-Tedesco, are considered reference points. She has recorded for Fonè, RCA Victor/BMG France, Philips Classic, Argos, Stradivarius, Aeolus, and Continuo.

 

Her concerts have taken her all over Europe, where she has performed at prestigious venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Europalia Festival in Brussels, the Bath Music Festival, and the Saint-Eustache Organ Festival in Paris. She has also toured extensively in the United States, South America, Crimea, and the Middle East.
