Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (January 5, 1920 June 12, 1995) was an Italian classical pianist. He has been regarded as among the most commanding and individual piano virtuosos of the 20th century, among names such as Horowitz and Richter. Along with Ferruccio Busoni, he is often considered the most important Italian pianist.
Born in Brescia, Italy, he began music lessons at the age of three, initially with the violin, but quickly switched to the piano. At ten he entered the Milan Conservatory. In 1938, at age eighteen, he began his international career by entering the Ysaÿe International Festival in Brussels, Belgium, where he placed seventh (a brief account of this competition, at which Emil Gilels took first prize, is given by Arthur Rubinstein, who was one of the judges. According to Rubinstein, Michelangeli gave "an unsatisfactory performance, but already showed his impeccable technique"). A year later he earned first prize in the Geneva International Competition where he was acclaimed as "a new Liszt" by pianist Alfred Cortot, a member of the judging panel, which was presided by Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
Michelangeli was known for his note-perfect performances. The music critic Harold Schonberg wrote of him: "His fingers can no more hit a wrong note or smudge a passage than a bullet can be veered off course once it has been fired...The puzzling part about Michelangeli is that in many pieces of the romantic repertoire he seems unsure of himself emotionally, and his otherwise direct playing is then laden with expressive devices that disturb the musical flow."[1] The teacher and commentator David Dubal adds that he was best in the earlier works of Beethoven and seemed insecure in Chopin, but that he was "demonic" in such works as the Bach-Busoni Chaconne and the Brahms Paganini Variations.
His repertoire was strikingly small for a concert pianist of such stature. Owing to his obsessive perfectionism relatively few recordings were officially released during Michelangeli's lifetime, but these are augmented by numerous bootleg recordings of live performances. Discographical highlights include the (authorized) live performances in London of Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, Chopin's Sonata No. 2 and Robert Schumann's Carnaval, Op. 9 and Faschingsschwank aus Wien, Op. 26. The Gaspard, as well as his playing of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G set standards for those works and his reading of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 4 is comparable to that of Rachmaninoff himself. His Claude Debussy series for DG is something of a benchmark, if it is sometimes accused of being a little unatmospheric ("swimming in cool water," in Dubal's words). Several DVDs of live performances, and a master class, are also available.
As a composer, Michelangeli wrote 19 Folksongs a cappella for the SAT men's chorus from Trent (Italy).
Michelangeli was something of a hypochondriac, famous for last-minute cancellations of his concert recitals. His last concert took place on May 7, 1993 in Hamburg, Germany. After an extended illness he died in Lugano, Switzerland.

Apocalyptica é uma banda finlandesa formada por três exímios violoncelistas e, desde 2005, um baterista. Tem como especialidade o "symphonic metal" (heavy metal tocado por instrumentos de música sinfônica), tocando também música clássica. Todos os formadores frequentaram a Academia Sibelius, em Helsínquia, onde se conheceram e, em 1993, se juntaram para fazer, por diversão, arranjos com violoncelos.Os Apocalyptica formaram-se em 1996 quando quatro violoncelistas (Eicca Toppinen, Paavo Lötjönen, Max Lilja e Antero Manninen), se reuniram para fazer covers de Metallica no Teatro Heavy Metal Club.
Em 1996, lançaram o seu primeiro álbum, Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, onde é possível encontrar apenas covers de Metallica.
Em 1998, lançaram o seu segundo álbum, Inquisition Symphony, que, novamente, contém covers de Metallica. Porém, regravaram também músicas de "Faith No More", "Sepultura" e "Pantera". Neste álbum a banda incluiu também três faixas originais compostas por Eicca Toppinen.
Em 1999, Antero Manninen deixou o grupo e foi substituído por Perttu Kivilaakso. Em 2000, a banda finlandesa lançou o terceiro álbum, Cult, contendo dez músicas originais e três covers. Em 2002, Max Lilja deixou o grupo e uniu-se a uma outra banda finlandesa, os Hevein, deixando os Apocalyptica apenas com três membros.
Em 2003, os Apocalyptica lançaram o seu quarto álbum, Reflections, que contém apenas músicas originais. Reflections caracterizou um som experimental, ao invés do anterior estilo acústico encontrado em Inquisition Symphony e Cult. Dave Lombardo, baterista dos Slayer, tocou em cinco músicas deste álbum.
Em 2005, lançaram Apocalyptica, que contou com a participação de Mikko Sirén na bateria, e em Dezembro do mesmo ano este foi integrado como membro oficial da banda. Este álbum teve como convidados alguns músicos como Ville Valo dos HIM, Lauri Ylönen dos The Rasmus e, novamente, Dave Lombardo dos Slayer.
No dia 17 de Setembro de 2007 foi oficialmente apresentado ao público o seu sexto álbum Worlds Collide, que conta com a participação de Dave Lombardo dos Slayer na bateria de algumas canções, Cristina Scabbia dos Lacuna Coil, Till Lindemann dos Rammstein, Adam Gontier dos Three Days Grace e Corey Taylor dos Slipknot.
