"I remember Pasquale Iannone as a young man seated at the piano awaiting his entrance exam into my class at the International Accademy of Biella. As he played his first few pages, I immediately noticed his rare gifts as a pianist: the ample scale of his dynamics, the coherence of his interpretation free of low level mannerisms, technical precision. I immediately thought this boy would one day make people talk about himself. I don’t think I was wrong: Pasquale Iannone is at ease today with whatever difficulty he meets. With warmest affection I wish him the best success." Aldo Ciccolini I consider Pasquale Iannone to be one of the most gifted pianists of the generation. His very high technical ability and profound sensibility as an interpreter place him at the forefront in today’s international concert scene. Carlo Franci Pasquale Iannone’s career is rising continuosly. He is endowed with imagination, sensibility and strong sense of ensamble technique at the service of his outstanding perceiving of the sonic architectures. His fingers’ quasi scientific action is at the same high level as his control of the instrument. Pasquale Iannone certainly deserves my best wishes. Eugenio Bagnoli.
