read the beautiful review on The Washington Post
Oustanding success of Benedetto Lupo in London with the London Philharmonic Orchestra witnessed by the wonderful review in which his interpretation of Ravel is reported as the "stand out performance of the evening",
Deservedly considered one of the most prominent performer of the French repertoire, Benedetto Lupo is going to celebrate Claude Debussy hundredth death anniversary, commemorated in 2018.
Beginning in December 2017 (7 December in Macerata and 9 December in Firenze) and through all 2018, Benedetto Lupo will hold several recitals with a program totally dedicated to Debussy, playing the “Images” cycle (included the “oubliées” ones), “Estampes” and the "Second Suite Bergamasque”, originally thought by teh French composer as one piece and then pubblished in several works by different editors.
The program will therefore be a unique journey in the pianistic world of one of the greatest composers of all time.
On Friday 10th November, Benedetto Lupo will play in Madrid with the Orquesta Sinfónica RTVE conducted by Juanjo Mena, performing Maurice Ravel Concert for the left hand.
The concert, held at the Teatro Auditorio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial in Madrid, will be live broadcasted on Radio Clásica and later on Spanish TV channel TVE.
