RECORDING OF THE MONTH - MUSIC WEB INTERNATIONAL (UK) par Rob Challinor

"Thinking of his mentor, Forte recalls how he would speak of Argentina with eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, and ‘sparkling with enthusiasm’ is certainly a very apt description of this delightful recital. I had been very impressed by Forte’s *Earl Wild* album, and the brilliant and warm playing on this CD has once again impressed me. It is a marvellous recital and an excellent debut for Forte on the Mirare label."

 

​"Pianist Vittorio Forte has pulled off a masterstroke with this album, entitled ‘Volver’, a sort of anthology of pieces featuring a host of South American musicians, particularly Argentinians." Resmusica
