MARCHEGIANI'S TRIUMPH IN BERLIN
La Stampa - 04/09/99

IN MEISTERSAAL A THINKER SAT AT THE PIANO
[...] he proved to be brave in Meistersaal, presenting himself with an unconventional and coherent programme. [...] To what extent Mozart's Adagio allowed us to see the melancholy which Marchegiani heightened with extraordinary ability and extreme caution, became further confirmed in the sequence of the evening's performance. By his nature Sergio Marchegiani is a thinking mind on the piano. To him, no note seems devoid of meaning. This attitude gave an extraordinarily poetic and composed aura to the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata op. 110. [...] Also an excellent performance of Berg's Piano Sonata op.1. [...]

[...] Sergio Marchegiani's repertoires are never foreseen: they are particularly dense from a technical point of view and have great musical value.
