About

Marco Fatichenti is an internationally acclaimed pianist and recording artist who has performed at prestigious venues throughout Europe and the United States.

He completed his PhD at King’s College London in 2020, where his research examined early twentieth-century performance practices and aesthetic shifts in Spain during the Francoist dictatorship.

Described by Hilary Finch in The Times as “none other than Chopin incarnate,” he was hailed by the International Record Review for offering “a different and refreshing slant on Brahms from a vantage point south of the Alps,” while International Piano praised his performances for “marrying Romantic turbulence with Classical order.” His performances have been broadcast by Spanish RTVE, RTÉ, Polskie Radio, and the BBC.

He was also invited by the Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs to perform at the International EXPO in Zaragoza, Spain.

Marco’s critically acclaimed solo recordings include works by Brahms, Stravinsky, Debussy, and Chopin.

Now based in Tokyo, Marco combines an active international career as a pianist with a sought-after teaching practice. He regularly gives masterclasses and serves as a jury member for piano competitions in Japan and internationally. His work as an educator and adjudicator draws on his extensive experience as a performer, his academic research, and his broad knowledge of the piano repertoire.

Marco is committed to promoting music and its social and cultural value among diverse audiences.
