“Fabio Martino has revived Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto with a sweeping, resolute drive, pleasure in well-shaped, melodious passages and also with the necessary stamina.
Frankfurter Allgemeine
“Nuanced sensitivity, radical ecstasy and an astonishing technical virtuosity.”
Süddeutsche Zeitung
“Excellent Pianist”
O Estado de São Paulo
“Fabio Martino is THE symbiosis of musicality and limelight hog.”
Axel Schlicksupp Orchester Director of the Bad. Staatskapelle Karlsruhe
“… Fabio Martino has the ability and talent to convey through his virtuosity and his very fine piano technique, poetry and elegy in an impressive interpretation. His indescribable sound world is ecstasizing and varies greatly between pianissimo and profound, vigorous attacks. After thunderous applause Martino delighted the audience with an encore.”
M. A. Seta, critic
“After the concentration moment, Fabio Martino seemed to slide into another world over and completely merge with the music…”
Neue Musikzeitung
“Schumann’s Fantasie op. 17 interpreted by pianist Fabio Martino will remain eternally embedded in my musical memory: something we don’t easily forget. And in the archive of my musical memory there is the interpretation of the Fantasie op. 17 with Nelson Freire, Mendelssohn’s Variations Sérieuses with Alicia de Larocha, the Bach C minor Partita with Martha Argerich, and Beethovens Sonata op.2 no.3 with Vladimir Ashkenazy.”
Ronaldo Miranda, critic and composer
“…it is near sorcery when there is an encounter with the nucleus, the very essence of music. That is transcendence, that is Fabio Martino.”
Badische Neueste Nachrichten
“Martino may have grown a secret third hand for his encore.”
Des Moines Register
“I had the real pleasure working with Fabio. He is a consummate artist and communicator. His joy of playing is very clear to see and experience. I simply loved working with him. He is a great pianist and musician.”
Michael Collins, Clarinetist and Conductor
“He has a remarkable career ahead.”
Dorothy Hindmann – South Florida Classical Review
“Your new CD is MAGNIFICENT! It is the best recording EVER of Brahms opus 1!”
Leslie Howard, Pianist
