Discography
Mozart – Volume 2
#2025
After the first volume entirely dedicated to Mozart (CHAN 20233) designed around the Fantasy in C minor KV 475, in this second work (CHAN 20350) Federico Colli has further deepened his knowledge of the much-loved composer from Salzburg, and the key work of the album is certainly the Sonata in A major KV 331.
"Reined in by the variations’ tight structure, Colli dazzles in the old-fashioned way with a rainbow of colours and multiple shades of touch and dynamics."

Mozart – The Piano Quartets
#2023
Classic FM’s album of the week and one of the best albums of 2023 for the Magazine “The Week”
The confluence of four distinguished solo musicians in a quartet configuration materialized in a resplendent rendition of Mozart’s two piano quartets KV478 and KV493.
The collaboration between Dego, Ridout, Van der Heijden, and Colli not only breathes new life into these piano quartets but also accentuates their significance in the pantheon of classical music.
"This recording exhibits a distinct personality with its light, playful style. Each of the two performances has a chamber-music intimacy, sensitive or lightly playful as the music demands."
Richard Fairman, Financial Times
Mozart – Volume 1
#2022
The acclaimed young Italian pianist Federico Colli delivers the first volume of an extremely personal survey of keyboard works by Mozart, including the Sonata in B flat major KV 333, the Rondo in D major KV 485 and the Fantasies KV 396, KV 397 and KV 475
"It’s not a question of ‘liberties’ taken: it’s about a kind of musical free-association, a grabbing of clues in the score which most pianists follow to the letter, but which Colli takes in both hands and runs with."

Scarlatti – Sonatas Volume 2
#2020
Chosen by Classical Music-BBC Music Magazine as one of the best classical album released in 2020
Vivacity and happiness, indignation and peremptoriness…
Working from the concept that opposition is needed to truly experience beauty, Federico Colli has created these double sonatas, by pairing works with contrasting tempi, dynamics, character and feeling.
"This is a superb release from the most scintillating and personal of all young artists.

J.S. Bach/Busoni
#2019
“For the purpose of creating this CD, I wanted to concentrate all my energy and to point your attention towards a great and unique concept: the relationship with transcendence.”
"Playing on a modern Steinway, the Italian pianist invests Bach’s keyboard works with vitality and a memorable soft-edged inwardness. Colli’s performance is characteristically thoughtful and considered, yet has a self-aware sense of the epic. It’s a monumentally well-paced performance that grips from each moment to the next."
