Concert highlights include solo performances at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie, Concertgebouw, L’auditori Barcelona & Le Poisson Rouge. He recently recorded his latest album, On early Music, in a live streamed concert with La Scala Paris in 2021. He performed his uniquely constructed concept piano 2.0 at LSO St Luke’s, as well as performances with Zurich Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre National du Strasbourg and Sibiu Philharmonic, as part of the Enescu Festival. The season 2020/21 will see Tristano performing at Resonanzen Festival, Festival de Musique Sacrée de Perpignan as well as with Hong Kong Philharmonic (premiering his new concerto Tokyo Stories: A suite for piano and orchestra with conductor Rumon Gamba).
Tristano regularly works with a number of important orchestras including the MDR Sinfonieorchester Leipzig (with Kristjan Järvi), Orchestre National de Lille, hr-Sinfonieorchester, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, BBC Concert Orchestra, Szczecin Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and Spanish National Orchestra and Choir.
Tristano has a growing discography including recordings of Bach’s Goldberg Variations and complete keyboard concertos, Luciano Berio’s complete piano works, and Girolamo Frescobaldi’s Toccatas. His album ‘Idiosynkrasia’ (inFine, 2010), recorded at Carl Craig’s Planet E‑communications in Detroit, was released to critical acclaim; Tristano accomplished the synthesis of digital virtuosity and rare electronic textures, which he now calls ‘piano2.0’. On Deutsche Grammophon he released ‘BachCage’, produced by Moritz von Oswald, in 2011, ‘The Long Walk’ (Buxehetude/Bach/Tristano) in 2012, and ‘Scandale’ with Alice Sara Ott. Tristano is a Sony Classics artist, releasing ‘Piano Circle Songs’ featuring Chilly Gonzales in September 2017, and ‘Tokyo Stories’ in May 2019, both to critical acclaim.
