"With this recording, the Italian pianist Andrea Vivanet demonstrates a masterful command of this thoroughly versatile repertoire.
His sovereign virtuosity as well as his empathy for lyrical passages make this recording an interesting listening experience."

The New Listener
(September 2019)
"The Italian pianist Andrea Vivanet plays with great skill and commitment as well as a feeling for the special sound of the short pieces included in his programme. Each of these miniatures can exist on its own, but together they form a rich, multifaceted spectrum with calmer and more powerful, rhythmically brilliant and intimate moments. Andrea Vivanet gives a strong and individual profile to the various pieces, thus taking the listener on an interesting journey through the piano music of the Polish composer."
Remy Franck

"Staying with Bartók, Vivanet tackles the famous Dance Suite of 1923. Much competition exists here, perhaps most obviously in the shape of András Schiff (on Denon) and Kocsis. Vivanet makes a spectacularly good case for the piano version."
Colin Clarke
Fanfare Magazine
(Sept/Oct 2019)
"In Vivanet’s hands, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is more than a collection of loosely related movements partially held together by the Promenade; it emerges as an integral whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. This is everything the piece can and should be. An outstanding accomplishment."
