Fabio Martino is a pianist who captivates his audience – with radical precision, remarkable passion, a charismatic stage presence and a musicality that speaks as directly to the heart as it does to the ear.

Recording Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker and Maestro Dan Ettinger was an intense and unforgettable experience. This work brings together virtuosity, passion and profound emotion — precisely the kind of force we sought to bring to life in collaboration with the orchestra.

Every movement breathes the richness of Rachmaninov’s musical language, his lyrical intensity and his dramatic power.

My debut album traces a compelling dialogue between classical and contemporary repertoire — including the world premiere recording of the Third Piano Sonata by York Höller and the Estudos Intervalares by Edino Krieger. In deliberate contrast, the programme also features Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 111, and Johannes Brahms’s Piano Sonata No. 1.

In this album, I explore the eruptive, passionate energy of the nineteenth century — and the physical as well as emotional intensity of Romantic piano playing. At its core stand Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt and Robert Schumann. A Brazilian perspective, represented by Zequinha de Abreu, extends the arc from European Romanticism to a distinctly South American pulse.

“Passion” is not merely a title, but a statement of intent: music as an elemental force — one that pushes towards the limits, and ultimately transcends them.

In Latin Soul, I bring the pulsating energy of Latin America to life at the piano. From the dances of Brazil to the melodies of Argentina, I explore the passion, vitality and emotional depth inherent in each composition.

At the heart of the programme are works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera, Carlos Guastavino and Mozart Camargo Guarnieri. For me, music is a living force — one that moves both heart and soul.

In Noites Particulares, I embark on an intimate journey through nights shaped by memory, emotion and imagination. With Fantasia Rodin & Camille — inspired by the intense bond between the sculptor Auguste Rodin and his muse Camille Claudel — I extend an invitation: to linger, to pause, to listen.

Every note, every silence carries a night within it — a particular night filled with mystery, longing and poetic intensity.

In Déjà-vu, together with Alejandro Aldana, I explore the intimate art of the violin–piano duo. Three masterpieces — by Gabriel Fauré, César Franck and Francisco Mignone — enter into dialogue.

I invite you to step into sound worlds where French sensibility and Brazilian vitality converge, where every phrase awakens a memory while being experienced anew. Déjà-vu is not merely a title, but a stance: music as an encounter with the familiar within the unknown — a moment of recognition, and at the same time, of wonder.

In this recording, together with Alejandro Aldana, I bring to life two monumental chamber works by the Argentine composer Alberto Williams: the Sonata No. 2 in D minor, Op. 51, and the Sonata No. 3 in D major, Op. 53. Written at the beginning of the twentieth century, these works unite the European Romantic legacy with Williams’s own musical identity rooted in Argentina.

We chose these sonatas because Williams embraces the grand Romantic form while forging a distinctive voice of his own — one that brings together South American reality and European tradition. This recording is an invitation to explore this expressive sound world and to discover new depths within these sonatas.

In Moods, I set out on a musical journey through colours of sound, shifting atmospheres and hidden depths — with works by Nikolai Medtner and Sergei Bortkiewicz forming the core of the album.

The challenge — and the fascination — lies in rediscovering these rarely performed composers, with their rich harmonic language, subtle inner tension and emotional intensity, and bringing them vividly to life. This recording is conceived not merely as an interpretation, but as an invitation: to listen, to feel, and to be carried by the moods of sound.

In Variations on Edward Hopper, Alexandre Guerra and I invite you on a sonic journey inspired by the paintings of Edward Hopper. Each of the sixteen compositions leads into moments such as Bridle Path, Gas, Nighthawks or Room in Brooklyn, capturing the solitude of urban spaces and the quiet intensity of light and shadow.

The album makes the invisible audible — the tension between movement and stillness, between exterior and interior, so palpable in Hopper’s work. The music expands his visual world, becoming an acoustic echo of his spaces. Variations on Edward Hopper is offered as an invitation to enter sound worlds shaped by light, architecture and atmosphere.

In this recording, together with the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo under the direction of Giancarlo Guerrero, I bring to life Francisco Mignone’s four Fantasias Brasileiras (Nos. 1–4). Composed between 1929 and 1936, these works unite the European concerto tradition with the vibrant rhythms and colours of Brazil.

What is particularly captivating is the way Mignone weaves virtuosic piano writing, surging rhythms and unmistakably Brazilian themes into a compelling musical whole. This recording is more than an interpretation — it is an invitation to immerse oneself in a sound world where energy, expression and poetic refinement converge.
