The Critics
…Leonardo Gasparini not only has a precise and deep knowledge of Ravel’s score but also permeates the music with a brilliant subjectivity …
Gasparini communicates a unity made of contrasts—tensions, developments, soothing outcomes, climax—as well as balanced, rhythmical dynamics
Süddeutche Zeitung (Germany)
…The Italian musicians from the « Sinfonietta » showed us how Vivaldi should be played, with extraordinarily diversified dynamics, a non-vertiginous virtuosity ... They performed Strauss’ Metamorphosen with a perfect technique, a transparent sound, deep beauty and grief …
Gasparini indulges in a Mozart extravagant journey (Le Nozze di Figaro) … he quickly chisels text and music, alternately mordent or arrogant… Passionate performance given a standing ovation by a conquered audience ….
Augsburger Zeitung (Germany)
… The young « Sinfonietta orchestra» enhanced Corelli’s aristocracy, its performance was an elegiac melody, the beauty of bowing….
(The Turn of the Screw by Benjamin Britten)
… Leonardo Gasparini, the orchestra conductor, a close disciple of Maestro Sergiu Celibidache, has musical intelligence and firm dramatic will…
….Leonardo Gasparini conducted with self-confidence, underlining not only dynamics but also sound shades, as a painter would do….A beautiful performance of Beethoven’s Symphony n° 4 admirably concluded the program.
….Gasparini and his fellow musicians avoided the risk of a tedious, simplifed score as well as an extreme jazzy mood that are both too easily imposed on Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale.
La Lettre du Musicien (France)
Cinq sens et non sens, A.Duhamel
…. The Five Senses-Nonsense project was made possible mostly by conductor Leonardo Gasparini’s work.
