Conductors
Vittorio Parisi studied at the G.Verdi Conservatorium in Milan with Azio Corghi (composition),
Piero Rattalino (piano) Mario Gusella and Gianluigi Gelmetti (conducting); he also attended
masterclasses with Kirill Kondrashin (he was the only italian pupil of the famous Russian
conductor) and with Terence Lovett and George Hurst in England.
Born on October 5, 1992 in London – is quite a sensation.
The son of an English farmer and a Russian mother who loves the arts (though she is not a musician), his breathtaking musical development and career were hardly predictable, nor was he encouraged or pushed to become a musician. On the contrary!
György Selmeczi represents the composer-conductor type in the most favourable way from inside he feels and undergoes musical structrures, colours, tempos, types, and he is able to communicate them in a purely musical way with a special ability: he plays music reserved, still with pregnancy" (Tibor Tallián).
