#Sharp Artists
Daniel Ciobanu
“You, a regular visitor to the concert halls, will want from time to time a concert like the one offered by Daniel Ciobanu. An overflowing personality, a creative and volcanic interpreter, launched, without limits, to an execution of great sound display where in every turn, in every nuance, there was an idea, an intention. Eclectic and restless personality, festival promoter, magazine editor... We are talking, therefore, about a cultural animal whose activity overflows beyond the sphere of concert."
Simon Trpčeski
“He came, he played and he conquered. When Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski first bounced on to the concert scene, he seemed part will-o-the-wisp, part jack-in-the-box, a real personality of coruscating brilliance.Trpčeski’s elasticity and freedom take you on unpredictable journeys, even in works you know.”
the Savage Ivorist
A charismatic chameleon
Guy
Mintus
"His bold reimagining of each track take listeners on a rocket ride to heights where they can see these tunes as if for the first time. Mintus pours together a mixed brew of influences with ebullient grace that you'd think they all originated in the very same place”
just can’t get enough
Anna Tifu
“Open your ears, listen to anyone play a violin page and then the same one shelled out by Anna Tifu's violin. Hear the difference? Well: the boundary with "that" difference is the one you must always try to cross, never succeeding.”
Giuseppe Andaloro
“An unparalleled ‘out of class’. We will hear a lot and long talk about this pianist who... performed in an absolutely superlative concert - it looked like the piano was a new instrument. He never seemed to have possessed such sounds, even when played by the big names on the international scene. Simply with Giuseppe Andaloro it is something else: it is as if the young man had a secret knowledge of the piano, capable of recalling from the instrument a multiplicity of timbres and dynamics never heard before. It’s as if his fingers can control perfectly, magically touch the keys, so as to forge exactly – with that particular weight or gesture or touch lightly – “that” determined, precise and unprecedented sound.”
talenti straordinario
Star fingered pianist
Anastasia Kobekina
“Kobekina is a player with huge potential and almost overwhelming sincerity, unrivaled musician and an absolute public favourite ...
of the highest maturity Kobekina plays with gorgeous elegance and effortlessly wide lines.”
Linus Roth
The sound is admirable in its clarity and less unyielding than the previous releases, and Roth’s notes are perceptive without becoming wantonly enthusiastic. He deserves credit from Weinberg devotees and newcomers alike for such formidable and unstinting advocacy.
