Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, born in Brescia, Italy, in 1920, stands as one of the most revered and enigmatic pianists of the 20th century. Known for his impeccable technique, precision, and expressive restraint, Michelangeli was a perfectionist who spent years perfecting his repertoire. His concert repertoire was notably small, and he was meticulous about his performances, often canceling concerts if he felt he wasn't at his best. Michelangeli's mastery extended across various genres, but he was particularly renowned for his interpretations of Romantic music, especially the works of Debussy.
Beyond his musical prowess, Michelangeli led a fascinating life. He served in the Italian air force during World War II and was later involved in the Italian resistance. His passions extended beyond music to fast cars and flying, notably his participation in the Mille Miglia race. Michelangeli's legacy is not just his performances but also his influence as a teacher, having mentored several famous students. His reclusive nature and obsessive perfectionism only added to his mystique, making him a legendary figure in the world of classical piano.
