"Four Stars ... to judge from these performances, Piemontesi is certainly a highly promising artist. His playing is intelligent and refined and he commands a prodigious range of keyboard touch and colour, combined with remarkable powers of articulation."
- The Guardian
"... Piemontesi is certainly a compelling pianist, one who has his own vision of these works. He also has the technique to master the difficulties inherent in this unique and challenging writing ... (performances have) an elegance, a coolness, a sensuality, that all make for a downright confident and compelling approach ... with performances of this calibre from a pianist still so young, one can only look forward to future projects with anticipated enthusiasm. Recommended without reservation."
- Fanfare
Pianist Francesco Piemontesi celebrated the bicentenary of Robert Schumann’s birth with this fourth volume in a series, released in 2010. On the highly acclaimed double album the Swiss pianist rises to the many challenges offered by the Three Sonatas and the Fantasia.
