Various Artists - Thirty Fingers for Eighty-Eight Keys (Music for Piano 6-Hands) (2020)

Silvia Orlandi, Alberto Spinelli, and Antonella Vegetti were classmates at the middle school of the G. B. Martini Conservatory in Bologna. In 2013, at their 20-year class reunion, they decided to form the Trio Pianistico di Bologna.
The Trio has achieved technical and expressive excellence, with a unified approach to music-making that its members have nurtured since they were teenagers, each contributing their individual sensibility and knowledge.
The Trio made its debut in 2014 at the Pracchia in Music Festival in Pracchia (Pistoia), and since then has given numerous performances of the six-hand repertory, rarely offered in concert seasons.
It has performed at many venues, including the Sforza Castle in Milan for Expo 2015, the Wolfsburg Castle in Germany, the San Giacomo Festival and the “Circolo della Musica” Season in Bologna, the “Circolo di Lettura e Conversazione” in Parma, Villa Dolfi Ratta in San Lazzaro (Bologna), “Casa della Musica” in Piteglio” (Pistoia), the Verdi Off Festival in Parma, an open-air concert on Viale Ceccarini in Riccione (Rimini), the Lobby of Teatro Comunale in Ferrara, and at Villa Premoli for the Cavaso Classica Festival (Treviso).
Its repertory ranges from the 18th to the 20th century and contains works written specifically for piano six hands as well as transcriptions. Although preferring the great classical composers (from Czerny to Rachmaninoff), the Trio also performs elegant jazz and music for entertainment, convinced that elegant writing, beauty, and authentic emotion are the only requirements needed for a piece to attract its attention.
Many composers have transcribed or written new works for the Trio, which is constantly expanding its unique repertory.
