il Fronimo n. 187 (luglio 2019)
‘Catarsis’ è un lavoro ricco di situazioni contrastanti e con momenti talora aggressivi, ma perfettamente funzionali alle intenzioni espressive dell’autore. ... l’esecuzione di questo brano è tecnicamente molto complessa e, come tale, destinata ad esecutori esperti. (Antonio Borrelli)
Classical Guitar Magazine (06-2014)
It is certainly an exciting piece and makes a substantial impression, succeeding as it does in not frightening you away with crushing dissonances that so many other writers insist on inflicting on our ears from time to time. This pieces is musical and eventful, and moreover exciting and has a beginning middle and an end that one can follow throughout. It is not however easy, so only moderately advanced players will be able to cope with its complexities.
