DANIEL STAGNO
has established himself as one of Sweden's most successful young pianists and composers during the last years. He studied at the Music Academy in Malmö under the guidance of Professor Hans Pålsson, at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki under the guidance of Hamsa Al-Wadi Juris and at Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano under the guidance of Alessandro D'Onofrio. Daniel Stagno's repertoire does not only cover the standard canon; he has a passion to spread more rarely played music like the first piano sonata by Rachmaninov as well as sonatas and character pieces by Nikolai Kapustin and Nikolai Medtner. As a composer he mainly focuses on piano music, lied repertoire and chamber music. However he has also composed numerous pieces for his former instrument, the classical guitar. He has performed his music on Swedish and Finnish radio and performs regularly in concerts all over Europe. At the moment his debut CD as a composer is available. It contains 16 songs, based on poems by the Swedish author Gustaf Fröding, performed by the Finnish baritone Petteri Lehikoinen and Daniel Stagno himself at the piano.
