Benedetto Lupo has been described by critics as an "exceptionally fine pianist ... who has a remarkably fine touch and beautiful tone control" (The Oregonian). Praised for his "keen musical intelligence and probing intellect" (Miami Herald), and for combining "meticulous technique with romantic sensitivity" (Birmingham News), he has gained worldwide recognition. After winning the bronze medal in the 1989 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, he made acclaimed debuts with several major American orchestras, as well as chamber appearances with the Tokyo String Quartet. His New York City recital debut at Alice Tully Hall followed in 1992, the same year he won the Terence Judd International Award, which in turn led to his debut at London's Wigmore Hall.

2011/12 features two impressive firsts. He performs Mozart’s Concerto K. 456 in his Tanglewood Festival debut, and later joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the first time. Other highlights include the Montreal Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Calgary Philharmonic, and the Malaysian Philharmonic. In his native Italy he can be heard with the Verdi Orchestra in Milan, National RAI Orchestra in Turino and the festivals of Brescia and Bergamo.
