It is very difficult to classify a complex and multifaced personality like that of Michele Fontana in a single category. After having brilliantly graduated in piano and organ at the Conservatory of Verona he felt the need to further expand and complete his training. So in the following years he also obtained a Master's Degree in Piano with the highest marks and praise at the Conservatory of Mantua, with Edoardo Maria Strabbioli, and a Degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Modena. His musical interests have always ranged in a cross way from the Baroque to the classical and modern period. For this reason, it should not be surprising that among the Teachers of his specialization courses there are pianists, harpsichordists and organists such as Pier Narciso Masi, Leslie Howard, Sylvie Gazeau, Lorenzo Ghielmi, Francesco Cera, Giancarlo Parodi, Guy Bovet and Ludger Lohmann. After the album "'900", dedicated to Stravinsky, Bartòk, Prokofiev, Ligeti, which met great interest both from the audience and critics, Fontana's latest work is an absolute novelty in the recording industry. The Complete Works by Girolamo Frescobaldi are performed on the ancient organ as well as on the modern piano, tuned with the meantone system for the first time in history.
