Massimo Di Gesu
Massimo Di Gesu is an Italian composer
known for his distinctive atonal language,
whithin which each note is devised in such a way
as to sound necessary and perceptibly interconnected.
He conceives of music as a narrative body:
melody forms its skin,
counterpoint its skeleton and muscles,
and rhythm and harmony its heart and brain.
His works have been performed by renowned soloists and ensembles
at venues such as
La Scala, La Fenice, Salle Cortot, Carnegie Hall.
His music has been praised
as the technically impeccable expression
of a powerful aesthetic vision.

Testimonials
"The piece shows an impeccable sense of form, and a rare insight into the idiomatic resources of the instrument for which it was composed.
At first, his musical thought could be traced back to the expressionism of Schönberg and the mastery of Berg.
Actually, what is here perceptible is the mighty shadow of J. S. Bach."
"A refined musician, Di Gesu has a versatile cultural spectrum.
His musical language has metabolised the most significant experiences of the 20th century, nurturing a masterful craft, which is the achievement of a deep aesthetic vocation and rigorous research discipline."
"For a long time I have known and esteemed Maestro Massimo Di Gesu whom I consider musician of high level and person of great cultural commitment."
"His piano music has a unique tonal language [...] and represents a breath of fresh air in the doldrums of ‘contemporary music’ malaise."
