R e v i e w s Alirio Diaz: ““Gasbarroni is born to fulfill delicate artistic missions”

“A true virtuoso of the guitar”. G., “SUDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG” – Munich - May 6, 1967

Russia Moscow Guitar Society 1963: (meeting) ”Moscow guitarists have already heard many foreign virtuoso of this instrument before, but they were simply astonished and impressed by his mastery, by the highly technical skill and his delicate sensitivity. With Gasbarroni Italy , the homeland of illustrious musicians, has found a great Interpreter.”” The Guitarists of the Moscow Guitar Society TCHAIKOVSKI HALL, Philharmonic, Moscow The listener is astonished by the exceptional beauty of his sound and by his masterful virtuosity. Vladimir Slavski, "SOVIETSKAIA KULTURA" – Moscow August 22, 1968

China HAIDIAN THEATRE, Peking “ Massimo Gasbarroni’s recital caught the fancy of both foreign and Chinese listeners. The slender musician seemed to have a magic power of lifting one’s soul above one’s body… The Elegia’s “wave” melody sent a shivering sensation along one’s backbone. “It is one of the most sensitive and exquisite sorts of music I have listened to. He plays with such feeling, “remarked Gu Bi, a musician sitting among the audience”. Xu Xiangorum, “BEIJING WEEKEND” - Peking (China)

United States “Massimo Gasbarroni was the best interpreter of the accepted Classical guitar repertoire in the 20th century and one of the very best interpreters of classical music of any instrumental genre in Classical music” TheFineArtsReview1(Smith Sherman)

“I think that it is a bad performance to advertise Gasbarroni with... because it is too good! “ 12 June 2009

TheFineArtsReview1

Brazil - LA PAZ THEATRE, Belem “ Massimo Gasbarroni is a name to be kept in mind. His performance at the La Paz Theatre strongly confirmed that which international critics have already acclaimed, that he is one of the greatest guitarists of our times. The version given us of the 5 Preludes by Villa–Lobos with magical sound appeared unbeatable to us, and no less was Arrulladora by Castelnuovo Tedesco that we had already heard in an earlier recording by Segovia. With Mallorca of Albeniz he astonished the audience, leaving them an unforgettable impression.” W.E. Enrique, “O LIBERAL” - Belem, (Brazil) September, 13 1981 “ESPECIALISTA EM VILLA-LOBOS” “GAZETA DO POVO”, Curitiba August 18, 1982

ISRAEL -

“Gasbarroni gave his audience a superb feeling of the baroque period’s elegance. A performance so beautiful as to touch our feelings.” Yariv Heazrachi, “YEDI’OT HACHRONOT” - Tel-Aviv 13 October 1976

Italy - “Gasbarroni is one of the elite of the few authentic concert artists who

contribute most to revaluating the classical guitar”. “IL ROMA”, Salerno September 14, 1970 “MASSIMO GASBARRONI REVALUATES THE GUITAR” "CORRIERE DEL GIORNO” Taranto

LEBANON -

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY 1980 - Beirut “Words are all inadequate. The satisfaction that Gasbarroni gives his hearers is beyond the power of speech to convey”. George Miller, American musicologist, “MONDAY MORNING” November 24, 1980 “Gasbarroni confirmed the impression of those who had heard him before that he is one of the most outstanding contemporary guitarists” George Miller, American musicologist, “MONDAY MORNING” November 24, 1981

Poland SUPERIOR ACADEMY OF MUSIC, Warsaw “He reminded us of how the guitar can sound in the hand of an admirable artist”. Janusz Ekiert, “EXPRESS WIECZORNY” – Warsaw May 9, 1972

Venezuela

CONSERVATORY, Caracas "A sensitive interpreter whose limpid performances qualify him as one of the most refined contemporary guitar soloists. Gasbarroni is possessed by the "angel of music". Beyond any doubt he belongs to the category of the greatest guitarists of our times. A fine recital by a superb artist." R.H.Lopez, “EL NACIONAL”, Caracas August 22, 1975
