The Luxembourger Francesco Tristano travels all over the world, performing music ranging from Baroque to modern pieces. He also records dance music for electronic music labels. At the same time, he is working on a big project to record all of Johann Sebastian Bach's piano music. Moreover, he creates albums that are woven from his personal stories, in which he explores the sensitivity and tonal diversity of the piano.

His fascination with Bach's clarity, interest in exploring sounds, effects, and timbres as practised by composers such as Cage and Ligeti, and his desire to express his imagination through albums like Idiosynkrasia (2010), Tokyo Stories (2019), and On Early Music (2022) can be traced back to his time as a student at the Juilliard School in New York. As part of a rebellious group of students who spent their days poring over music theory books and practising the piano, only to spend their evenings exploring the city’s techno scene, he discovered Detroit's most hypnotic export and danced to legendary DJ Danny Tenaglia's sessions at Twilo. He realised that electronic music evoked a kind of ecstasy that matched his own vision of music: a place without stylistic or temporal boundaries.

As a graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City, Francesco Tristano has an extensive discography of more than 25 albums, released on labels including Deutsche Grammophon, Sony Classical, Pentatone and Get Physical. In his recordings, he explores explores the sensibility and tonal richness of the piano as well as the possibilities of electronics.

2023 was the beginning of a new chapter altogether as Tristano has launched his own label, intothefuture. The latest release of "bach: the 6 english suites" and "bach: the 7 toccatas" by Johann Sebastian Bach is marking the start of a new phase in his artistic career.

Tristano has collaborated with artists such as Mikhail Pletnev, Alice Sara Ott, Carl Craig, Moritz von Oswald und Michel Portal, and has performed with orchestras such as the Bamberger Symphonikern, the Deutschen Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the New Japan Philharmonic.
