 Sokolov does not play, he tells stories and captivates those who listen because he tells in two voices.

 Every note, every single phrase, every dynamic was cared for to ensure it could be perceived through the outer beauty of powerful cantability.

 Pollini was there, he was present, but where was Schumann? Where was Chopin? Where was the candor, the spontaneity, the wonder, the poetry?

 An interpretation so intellectual it seemed shallow; a unidirectional, monochrome interpretation so uniform and lacking in complexity.

Maurizio Pollini's recital in Rome on March 14, 2007, showcased his technical brilliance in performing Schumann and Chopin. While the execution was nearly flawless, the reviewer felt the performance lacked emotional depth, spontaneity, and lyricism. Despite powerful mastery of the piano, the interpretation was described as intellectual and uniform, leaving little room for musical contrast or poetic imagination. Encores offered moments closer to heartfelt music but did not fully redeem the overall impression. Discover the nuances of Maurizio Pollini's 2007 Rome recital—listen and form your own impression of this masterful yet emotionally restrained performance.

 An interpretation that pleased the general public but leaves us 'poor' professionals puzzled.

 Instruments become characters, sounds and timbres become images: it is not only the magic that Respighi’s music evokes and creates, it is Pappano’s interpretative choice that emphasizes everything in which the music is substantiated.

The review highlights a live performance of Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Respighi's orchestral works at Rome's Auditorium. While Andsnes delivers a refined but somewhat restrained piano interpretation, Pappano's dynamic conducting breathes life into Respighi's colorful composition. Despite pleasing the audience, the Rachmaninov interpretation leaves some professionals yearning for deeper expressiveness. The concert closes strongly with a Mendelssohn encore that almost redeems the earlier dissatisfaction. Discover the nuances of Pappano and Andsnes’ live classical performance—listen now and experience the magic of Rachmaninov and Respighi.

 Costagliola played, and how!

 Music 'is' and as such falls into the category of quality, of being, of that which escapes words, inexpressible and ineffable.

Davide Costagliola delivered a refined piano recital featuring works by Grieg and Brahms at Piazza Navona. Despite excellent musicianship and deep interpretative insight, the concert was marred by an inattentive and restless audience, detracting from the overall experience. The Brahms pieces stood out in their emotional intensity and structural mastery, highlighting Costagliola's skillful and expressive performance. Experience the emotional depth of Davide Costagliola's Brahms and Grieg interpretations — listen and feel the music’s true essence.

 La campanella conveyed an idea of 'virtuosity' as something made for play before for astonishment.

 The journey into a changing sound universe exposed the multifaceted ways of reinterpreting an author, at times questionable, and discussed after the concert.
