Salvatore Accardo gave his first professional recital in 1954 at the age of 13, in a programme that included Paganini Capricci. In 1956, when he was 15, Accardo won the Geneva Competition and in 1958 became the first winner of the Paganini Competition in Genoa. His vast repertoire ranges from pre-Bach to post-Berg, composers like Sciarrino, Donatoni, Piston, Piazzolla and Xenakis have written for him.
In addition to playing regularly with the world's leading orchestras and conductors, Salvatore Accardo performs successful recitals and is particularly devoted to chamber music. |
