Born in Venice in 1971, violinist Domenico Nordio was a pupil of Corrado Romano and Michele Auclair; at the age of sixteen he won the Viotti International Competition (Vercelli, Italy) with the legendary Yehudi Menuhin as president of the jury. After the achievements at the Paris Thibaud Competition, Viña del Mar Sigall Competition and Marseille Francescatti Competition, the Eurovision Grand Prix obtained in 1988 launched him into the international career.

 

 

Maestro Nordio is recording exclusively for Sony Classical; his latest CDs include Respighi and Dallapiccola with Muhai Tang and the Parma Filarmonica Toscanini (internationally released in March 2013); Castelnuovo Tedesco and Casella with the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana and Tito Ceccherini (internationally released in January 2015).

 

After a number of meetings with Andres Segovia, Massimo Scattolin began his concert career as a soloist, developing since then his chamber music and orchestral activities to include some of the best-known concertos for guitar and orchestra.He regularly takes part in international festivals and is the first Italian guitarist to have held master classes at the "Mozarteum" in Salzburg.

 

 

For the last few years Massimo Scattolin has been increasingly involved in composing works, first for solo guitar, and lately for symphony orchestra.

 

He has released more than 45 recordings, with orchestras, as soloist and in collaboration with musicians such as the violinists G. Carmignola and F. Mezzena, the cellists T. Demenga, A. Bonucci and J. Berger, the flautist R. Fabbriciani, the Amati quartet, the pianist M. Damerini, the guitarist C. Bonell, the tenor F. Grollo, the soprano S. Bellamio, the percussionist T.
