Alessandra Celletti

The Profile

Italian pianist and composer from Rome, active since the mid-1990s. Celebrated for refined interpretations of Satie, Glass, and Gurdjieff/de Hartmann, and for original projects spanning solo piano and electronics, including a collaboration with Hans-Joachim Roedelius.

Documented albums and projects include Les sons et les parfums (Debussy/Ravel/Satie), Black Baby (Scott Joplin), Hidden Sources (Gurdjieff/de Hartmann), Metamorphosis (Philip Glass), the electronic concept Overground (inspired by Mururoa nuclear tests), Chi mi darà le ali, and Sustanza di cose sperata with Hans-Joachim Roedelius.

Reviews praise Celletti’s lyrical piano voice and her ability to blend delicacy with intensity. Highlights include the prayer-like Chi mi darà le ali, the anti-nuclear electronic suite Overground, and refined readings of Glass, Satie, Joplin, and Gurdjieff/de Hartmann. A live Rome set underlines her expressive control. Collaboration with Roedelius broadens her palette.
