Despite the huge amount of invective heaped on them, the transcriptions have stubbornly refused to disappear, despised by critics, enjoyed by musicians, they are even enjoying something of a renaissance nowadays. The aim of this programme is to remind us of the double musical potential and interest of this form. Transcriptions show us the musical thinking of a composer moved and inspired by the artistry of other composers, while understanding that the musical substance of the underlying works is not static but capable of constant reworking and evolution. The transcriptions are more than monuments to other men’s greatness. They are eloquent and moving testimonials to a different kind of musical beauty.
Ida Pelliccioli, concert pianist, was born in Bergamo, Italy. She studied at the Nice Conservatoire de Région and at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot in the class of Serguei Markarov, Unesco Artist for Peace. During her studies, Ida was awarded several scholarships, amongst them, one from the Zygmunt Zaleski Foundation and one from Fondation Albert Roussel.
Ida participated in number of master-classes, among others with Jean-Claude Pennetier, Gerard Wyss and received a double diploma in interpretation and pedagogy, at the École Normale in Paris.
She received artistic guidance from Norma Fisher who teaches at the Royal College of Music in London, Stephen Gutman, and she is one of the rare pianists to have received guidance from the Cuban concert pianist Jorge Luis Prats.
