His recorded repertoire is broad in scope and includes everything from his critically acclaimed series The Complete Keyboard Sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti to works by Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Busoni, Godowsky, Ravel, and contemporary composers. This release marks Grante's first recording of the music of Johannes Brahms. Carlo Grante has performed in such major venues as the Vienna Musikverein, the Berlin Philharmonie's Chamber Music Hall, London's Wigmore Hall and Barbican Hall, Rome's Santa Cecilia Hall, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Dresden Semperoper, the Stuttgart Opera, Prague's Rudolfinum, as well as at Lincoln Center and the Kennedy Center in the US. He has appeared as soloist with major orchestras including the Dresden Staatskapelle, London's Royal Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphony, Orchestra of St. Cecilia, MDR Leipzig, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and Concertino Wien. Grante gave the first live performance of all 53 of Godowsky's Studies on the Études of Chopin at the Newport Festival. In 2014-15 his series \"Masters of High Romanticism\", featuring three recital programmes each devoted to Chopin, Schumann and Brahms, was taken to major halls in New York, Vienna and Berlin. Though best known perhaps for his Scarlatti, Mozart, Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Busoni, Debussy and Godowsky, Grante has had many contemporary works dedicated to him, including Adolphe's Chopin Dreams. He has brought out over 60 albums; his most recent discs have been devoted to the works of Scarlatti, Busoni, Schubert, Brahms, Godowsky and Adolphe. He gave the world premiere of Bruce Adolphe's piano concerto in Zurich in July 2016. The New York Met's Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi wrote of him in 2015 that \"Carlo Grante is one of the most astonishing artists I have ever known and worked with. \" The principal critic of Vienna's Die Presse dubbed him \"a knight of the piano, without blemish and without fear. \"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Variations on a Theme by Ha¨ndel, Op. 24 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Theme and Variations in D minor, Op.18b \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Variations on an Original Theme, Op.21 No.1 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Variations on a Hungarian Song, Op. 21 No. 2 \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35~Book 1 \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 35~Book 2 \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Variations on a Theme of Schumann, Op. 9 \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Sonata No. 1 in C Major, Op. 1~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Sonata No. 1 in C Major, Op. 1~Andante (nach einem altdeutschen Minneliede \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Sonata No. 1 in C Major, Op. 1~Allegro molto e con fuoco - Più mosso \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Sonata No. 1 in C Major, Op. 1~Allegro con fuoco - Presto non troppo ed agitato \u003cbr\u003e3.1 Sonata No. 2 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 2~Allegro non troppo, ma energico \u003cbr\u003e3.2 Sonata No. 2 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 2~Andante con espressione \u003cbr\u003e3.3 Sonata No. 2 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 2~Scherzo: Allegro - Poco più moderato \u003cbr\u003e3.4 Sonata No. 2 in F-sharp Minor, Op. 2~Finale: Sostenuto - Allegro non troppo e rubato - Molto sostenuto \u003cbr\u003e3.5 Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5~Allegro maestoso \u003cbr\u003e3.6 Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5~Andante espressive – Andante molto \u003cbr\u003e3.7 Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5~Allegro energico avec trio \u003cbr\u003e3.8 Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5~Intermezzo (Rückblick \/ Regard en arrière) Andante molto \u003cbr\u003e3.9 Sonata No. 3 in F Minor, Op. 5~Finale.
