Enrico Maria Polimanti enjoys playing a wide range of solo and chamber music repertoire spanning from Lodovico Giustini to Caroline Shaw. A modern musician, he investigates the music of the past, seeking to shed light on its connections to the contemporary world. “The communicative qualities of his performances as well as the beauty of his sound” (Jeremy Siepmann) originate from a heartfelt, cultivated and holistic approach to piano-playing. In his interpretations the intellectual and the instinctive aspect blend together in a natural manner, true to the composer’s vision.
