Alessandro Chiantoni was born in Alzano Lombardo (BG, Italy) on 19 November 1996.
He studied Pianoforte at the Conservatory “G. Donizetti” of Bergamo and in the same conservatory he graduated with full marks in Organ and Organ Composition.
As a soloist pianist he performed for associations, music festivals and for the Conservatory of Bergamo he took part in several initiatives, including concerts at the birthplace of Gaetano Donizetti, dealing with both the solo and chamber repertoire for four hands. He performed at the International Piano Festival of Bergamo and Brescia, taking part in the complete performance of Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas.
He is the titular organist of St. Anne's Church in Bergamo. He began his career as an organist performing for FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano, the Conservatory “G.

On the occasion of the third edition of the international composition competition “Vittorio Fellegara” he was invited to perform at the closing concert held in Bergamo in the prestigious “Alfredo Piatti” hall. In memory of the great French organist and composer Jean Guillou, he was invited to play at the Villasanta International Organ Festival on the great Bonato organ in the church of S. Anastasia.
He has performed on many prestigious instruments including the great Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen in Rouen and the great Cavaillé-Coll organ of the Eglise Saint-Godard in the same city, the great organ of the Cathedral of Merano (BZ), the great organs of the Cathedral of St. Alexander the Martyr in Bergamo, the great organ of the Church of St. Agnes in Modena and other prestigious instruments in Europe.

He improved with prestigious organists of international renown, in particular with Jean Guillou (Villasanta, Padua), Jean-Baptiste Monnot, (Rouen 2017-2018-2019-2021, Bergamo 2020), Daniel Roth (Bergamo), Ben Van Oosten (Bergamo), Simone Vebber (Merano), Yanka Hekimova (Villasanta), Olivier Latry (Bergamo), Ludgher Lohmann (Barzio), Francesco Finotti (Bergamo) and Frédéric Desenclos (Bergamo).

bellissimo brano di handel

[@syunya6746]

Когда впервые услышала эту музыку, прочитала в интернете «танец «. Подумала, что танцую короли , и то в крайне исключённых случаях. Такая красота, торжественность, величественность. Позже я прочитала , что это испанский народный танец. Понятно, что в каждой испанской деревне по оргАну не было, использовались более простые инструменты. И Гендель , очевидно, не присел на пенёк, чтобы быстренько записать ноты, а создал свой вариант ( как и Бетховен ) . Но всё таки народная музыка( я сейчас не пишу о чём- то ритуальном, вроде русского причитания над усопшим или циклом песен , посвящённых невесте на свадьбе, практически то же отпевание), ассоциируется у не специалистов с чем - веселым , бойким, жизнерадостным

[@evgenjanazarova2991]

Есть такое выражение-смерть танцует сарабанду.

Ingenious! 👍

Caro Alessandro, mi piace come esegui il pezzo. Una tua interpretazione che personal. apprezzo molto incluso l'uso dei registri. Si sente che vuoi caratterizzare il pezzo come piace a te. Bello il registro da 3.30' e delicatissima poi la parte a partire da min 2°. Sontuosa la parte finale. Bravissimo e grazie per la tua interpretazione. Auguri per la tua carriera e per la tua vita.

Wunderschön doch ein wenig hastig in den Abwärtsläufen. Gute Zwischenimprowisation. Tolle Idee mit der Posaune im Pedal, episch. Ich spiele selber Orgel umd feier dieses Lied total.

[@jeanpaulgilleron3766]

oui à l'orgue pourquoi pas mais mettez moins de jeux et jouez staccato sinon ça devient très lourd car ce morceau a été écrit pour le clavecin à deux claviers

[@EK-gr9gd]

The organ is too small for the piece.
