Critics
«For the pianist, the work's a Mount Everest of sorts that makes incredible demands on the soloist's stamina, technical virtuosity, and expressive capacity. Iannone shows himself well-up to the challenge.» Textura — Liszt · Rachmaninov (Da Vinci Classics), April 2026
«An extremely impressive and captivating interpretation that reveals a magnificent pianist: Iannone never exaggerates, he places the work at the centre and plays great music to perfection.» Carsten Dürer — Liszt · Beethoven-Liszt (Amadeus)
«I regard Pasquale Iannone as one of the most gifted concert pianists of the new generation: his exceptional technical command, combined with a profound interpretive sensitivity, makes him a leading artist on the international scene.» Carlo Franci
«An apostle of the piano, celebrated for his tightrope-walker's talent: a résumé to make your wrists tremble.» Filippo Michelangeli — Amadeus, cover story
«A true virtuoso is one who can turn half a ton of wood and iron into his own recognisable style: in his hands the great chords become a choir.» Alberto Angelino — Il Monferrato
«An extraordinary talent, honed by rigorous study and dedication: he illuminates the most treacherous pages with the acrobatic virtuosity and granite solidity of a Horowitz or a Gavrilov.» Alessandro Romanelli — Corriere della Sera
«A pianist of great means and remarkable interpretative sensitivity; in Rachmaninov he never indulges in easy virtuoso display, seeking instead the most secret poetic side.» Luca Chierici — Classic Voice
«A giant success… He leaves all affected histrionics by the wayside — not unlike the late Artur Rubinstein.» Jeff Manookian — The Salt Lake Tribune
«A remarkably accurate account of the millions of notes that test the technique of the most seasoned performer, with penetrating, singing tone and plenty of emotional life.» Michael Traub — The Citizen, Johannesburg
«Exceptional mastery: he weighs a complex phrasing with great wisdom. Seventy minutes of splendid piano music.» Luigi Fertonani — Brescia Oggi
