"The Argentinean Miguel Angel Scebba should be given an outstanding position within the category of the greatest pianists."
Südwest Presse (Germany)

"His colorful performance, temperamental, meaningful, captivates for its sincerity and plainness. All these valuable aptitudes allow him, no doubt, to deserve prominent place among the piano performers."
Vladimir Nilsen (Leningrad &endash; 1978)

"Admired virtuosity of Scebba...not only his technique is perfect, but also dolcissimo of a very refined pianism...sound virtuosity..."
Messaggero &endash; Venice (Italy)

"Fascinating Sense of Form: intense musicality, exuberant technique, piercing rhythm and neverfaling sense of color. The deep sense of shape is a dominant trait of his personality. Scebba, a pianist that really has something to say."
Südwest Presse (Germany)

That's how the specialized critics express about Miguel Angel Scebba's performance during his extensive tours that have already taken him to over fifteen countries in the world. His record of the "Sonate op. 22" of Schumann was compared by critics to that of the famous Sviatoslav Richter.

During his staying at Kiev's Conservatory he met Professor Vladimir Nilsen, who invited him to Leningrad, where he spended several months working under the guidance of this prominent master.
