“Santi impresses with an interpretation that is as intelligent as it is deeply musical, enriched by many dynamic nuances, great playfulness and wonderfully fine coloration. Fantasies is first-class piano playing and more than an hour of music that will never bore you.“

Pizzicato Magazine

“The performance of the Italian pianist Margherita Santi was impressive – with depth and creativity in the musical will […] She followed an etude by Rachmaninoff with a lively sparkling, subliminally grotesque march. An enthusiastic audience thanked her with a standing ovation.”

RuhrNachrichten

“A real feeling of the poetic trajectory of this piece. […] Schumann: lots of character, a fine sense of the musical lines and a delicate touch where it’s needed. The recorded sound is excellent”

Gramophone Magazine

“Listening to Santi’s Chopin is a revelation. She is not an artist who compromises, not one who sits between chairs. Her musical choices are bold, and she goes all in all the time. The composer’s language seems to be naturally felt in a tremendous performance of the Fantasy.”

American Record Guide

“Her playing impressed me with fierce personality, brilliant virtuosity, and above all, her original, distinctive attitude and individual approach. She plays with natural, convincing feel and understanding”

R.A.Ostrovsky, Professor at Moscow Conservatory

“During the break rises the tension for the Schumann Piano Concerto by Margherita Santi. She exceeds the expectations of listeners and announces Schumann’s Arabesque encore with a smile. At the end of the ovation the organizer and first violin comments to the audience “for this music you can not find the words”

“She strokes the keys of the grand piano, playing the well-known Allegro Affettuoso of Schumann Piano Concerto with a pearly sound […] Santi plays the demanding piece with passion”

Kleine Zeitung Graz

“An italian excellence”

Tv Rai Parlamento

“A strong musical instinct and the ability to immerse herself in the meaning of the work she performs, returning it with ardor always authentic impetus”

Olaf John Laneri, pianist

“The three performers have studied the music intensively. This enables them to offer eloquent and well-formed interpretations of the Dumka Trio and the other eight pieces. Pianist Margherita Santi has already demonstrated her intelligence and musical insight in her interpretations, which are enhanced by dynamic nuances, a joy of playing, and coloration. The two string players are equally impressive in their well-crafted arrangements. In this way, they have put together an appealing portrait of Rebecca Clarke’s music.”

Pizzicato Magazine

“They present this dark, solemn music on stage as if handling a precious object. They follow the score with deep admiration, yet manage to make their voices sound as though the melodies were arising from completely spontaneous emotion.“
