Biography

An Italian classical piano protege renowned for her fluent, flawless technique and fearless, passionate approach, Vanessa Benelli Mosell is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the world of classical music. At the age of three she began plonking away on the piano, trying to imitate her parents, and by seven she was attending the International Piano Academy in Imola, Bologna before continuing her studies at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and the Royal College of Music in London. She made her first appearance in New York when she was just eleven-years-old with her teacher Pascal Roge who described her as "the most natural musical talent I have seen in my life," and began working with the great German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen at 17. Featuring works by Liszt, Haydn and Prokofiev, her first album 'Introducing' was released in 2011 and because of her youth and glamorous looks she was dubbed 'the diva of the piano'. Any doubts about her extraordinary talent were wiped away, though, when her 2015 album '(R)Evolution' featured masterful performances of Stockhausen's 'Klavierstuecke' alongside works by other 20th century composers Igor Stravinsky and Karol Beffa. For the Decca Classics label she also took on compositions by Russian visionary Alexander Scriabin on 'Light' in 2016 and teamed up with the London Philharmonic Orchestra to perform Rachmaninov's classic 'Concerto No. 2' in 2017, as well as touring the world's great concert halls and playing with some of the finest orchestras. She has also experimented with chamber music and in 2018 released her interpretations of compositions by French impressionist Claude Debussy and contributed to an album that focused on the works of contemporary American minimalist composer Phillip Glass.
