New Yamaha Piano Artist Playing CFX

The brilliant and critically acclaimed Italian concert artist Michele Campanella is the latest renowned pianist to join the rapidly growing ranks of official Yamaha artists playing CFX.

Michele Campanella is internationally known for his exceptional interpretation of the repertoire of Franz Liszt. Trained at the Vincenzo School in Naples he boasts a varied and extensive recording discography. He also tours the world extensively, performing with many leading orchestras and as a solo artist.

As with many of Yamaha's artists, Michele Campanella is also an acclaimed educator and is passionate about teaching, sharing his exceptional skills and experiences with the next generation of young artists. In 2014 he was awarded the title of Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, an honour for outstanding contributions in the fields of the arts, literature and public service.

The Yamaha CFX is now Michele's piano of choice and he comments “About ten years ago I was challenged to try a Yamaha Concert Grand CFIIIS.

Throughout my career I have always been open minded to different forms of experiments and I've never looked at the piano's brand's name, but I rather listened with great attention, as I still do, to what the instrument “tells me”.

Ten years later I am now a ‘Yamaha Artist’ – “These two words hold a profound meaning for me since they describe my long journey towards “The Sound”. To embark on this journey it was crucial to have good allies and the response of Yamaha Italy has been extremely encouraging.“
