Biography
Pianist Giorgio Koukl has a wide repertory of Czech and non-Czech music but is best known for his recordings of Martinů's keyboard music. He has also recorded many works by Alexander Tcherepnin and Tibor Harsányi. Koukl began a cycle of Martinů's music in the late '90s, which continued to be reissued in the 2000s decade. Koukl is also a composer, which includes works such as the ballet Pandoras and a Te Deum for soloists, chorus, and orchestra. Some of his works were collected on the 2002 album Drops of Light. By the time Koukl, with Virginia Rossetti, released two albums of piano music by Vittorio Rieti in 2023 and 2024, his recording catalog comprised more than 40 albums.
