Q&A with Flavio Villani + Documentary showing

Meet The Artist - Flavio Villani

“With a sublime technique Villani pairs out the best of the romantic transportation and mood to the agility and precision required for it with almost imperceptible and minimal movements.”
– La Vita Casalese

CROSSING RACHMANINOFF:
Enthralled, like its hero, by the turmoil, lyricism and sheer melodic grandeur of one of the most beloved works in the Romantic piano repertoire, Rebecca Tansley’s documentary recounts the voyage of Italian-born Auckland pianist Flavio Villani. From picking out TV jingles on a rusty keyboard as a child to his debut last Christmas with a Calabrian orchestra playing Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, his path has been circuitous but purposeful.
