Alessandra
Celletti studied piano at the Santa Cecilia Music Conservatory
in Rome. After graduating she continued her studies with Vera
Gobbi Belcredi, specializing in French piano works of the late
19th and early 20th Centuries. In 1994 she released Les sons
et les parfums, an album of pieces by Debussy, Ravel and
Satie. Since then she has followed an irregular artistic path,
characterized by sudden departures from classical music. Her second
album, Viaggio a Praga, an exploration of the work of
Bohemian composers, saw Alessandra awarded a scholarship by the
Czech Republic in 1997. On returning to Italy she began working
with Kha Records, releasing four albums dedicated, respectively,
to the music of Gurdjieff/De Hartmann, Erik Satie, Scott Joplin
and Philip Glass. Her collection Esotérik Satie
proved hugely popular in France , and Gnossienne #1 was used by
Guy Ritchie in his 2005 movie Revolver.
As a performer, Alessandra Celletti’s
repertoire ranges from classical music to contemporary, with the
works of the XX Century canon and Minimalism holding a special
place in her heart. |
