“That Paolo Giacometti has opted for a twangy fortepiano of the period
may not add to the beauty of the performance but it makes for a better
balance between the instruments than if a modern Steinway was used. It
also allows for the pianist to articulate perfectly in really fast
speeds. The clarity and precision are also remarkable.” --Gramophone
Magazine, December 2011
“[The Mendelssohn is] a wonderfully uplifting outburst of high spirits,
generously and elegantly formed. Wispelwey always brings such a range of
texture to his articulation and such airy luminescence to lyric
passages that he is a well-nigh ideal exponent, matched by the
ultra-sensitive Paolo Giacometti” --BBC Music Magazine, December 2011

“[Giacometti] and Pieter Wispelwey give Mendelssohn’s D major Cello
Sonata Op 58 with fluency and panache. Between that sonata and an
eloquently voiced one of Chopin’s in G minor, Wispelwey shows his mettle
in some Chopin waltz arrangements.” --The Telegraph, 7th October 2011
