Riccardo Schwartz ha avuto il privilegio di esibirsi come solista con numerosi direttori d’orchestra di fama mondiale, tra cui Gustav Kuhn e Yuri Temirkanov. Le sue apprezzatissime esibizioni comprendono recital e concerti per pianoforte e orchestra in prestigiose sale da concerto come la Sala Verdi di Milano, il Konzerthausdi Bolzano, il Tiroler Festspiele Erl in Austria, il Teatro La Fenice di Venezia, il Teatro Regio di Parma e la Salle Gaveau di Parigi. Schwartz ha recentemente eseguito l’integrale delle Sonate per pianoforte di Beethovenin una serie di otto recital. Le esecuzioni, tenutesi a Milano e Gorizia, hanno riscosso grande successo. Nato a Milano nel 1986, Schwartz ha completato i suoi studi al Conservatorio di Milano con Riccardo Risaliti, Leonardo Leonardi e Annibale Rebaudengo. Dopo essersi diplomato con menzione d’onore, ha proseguito presso l’Accademia Pianistica di Imola, dove si è laureato in pianoforte. Il suo stile è stato profondamente influenzato da pianisti quali Joaquin Soriano, Boris Petrushansky, Paul Badura-Skoda e Louis Lortie. Schwartz si impegna a evocare l’anima di ogni compositore che interpreta, puntando alla perfezione tecnica e al tempo stesso illuminando il cuore di ogni ascoltatore. Invitato da Gustav Kuhn, Riccardo Schwartz è anche membro dell’Accademia di Montegral.
