MARIO FENINGER
is a consummate musician of sweeping perspective. European trained with deep respect for the traditions of the past, yet a keen eye on 20th Century attitudes, he has devoted himself to not merely performing upon the piano but to understanding the pianist’s entire approach to the instrument, addressing philosophy and physicality in conjunction with musicianship.

Born in Cairo, Egypt, Mario received his early music training from his mother, Teresa de Rogatis, a noted pianist, guitarist, composer and teacher. |

Mario made his Paris debut at the Salle Gaveau, whereupon the Figaro declared him “a remarkable artist … an important musical personality with a very beautiful, powerful tone.” From Paris, Mario proceeded to London’s Wigmore Hall where the Daily Telegraph proclaimed him to have “found the essential poetry on Chopin.” Mario made his Naples debutant at the Sala del Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella performing the Busoni Konzersnick, Op. 31a with the A Scarlatti Orchestra. The Italian press lauded Mario’s “brilliant virtuosity,” celebrating him as “a complex artist searching for his soul and animated by a great ideal.” Performing his extensive repertoire in the great halls of Europe, North Africa, North and Central America and the Middle East, Mario established a distinguished international reputation as a soloist and recitalist. |
