“Marino Formenti, Fully Engaged at NY Biennale“
“The extent to which Liszt pointed the way to the future came through thrillingly in this
revelatory program, played with sensitivity and fervor.”
The New York Times, Anthony Tommasini
“The event that encapsulated the whole
was a late-evening recital by the Italian pianist Marino Formenti,
a soft-spoken firebrand (…) held an intimate audience rapt and immobile for an unbroken 90 minutes”
The New York Magazine, Justin Davidson
“Once again Formenti dazzles, delights and confounds”
Forbes, Jens F. Laurson
