Prize of the critics as the best Italian CD in 2011 in the classical/instrumental category.

Coup de Coeur de Jean-Pierre Derrien (Radio France, Sept. 5, 2011)
 
...puntualità della scrittura e istigazione sperimentale, tratti che contraddistinguono il profilo musicale di Ivan Fedele, si intrecciano estrosamente sollecitati dal piacere di un ‘pianoforte ritrovato’, piacere che trova in Longobardi un traduttore davvero esemplare.
(Gian Paolo Minardi, Classic Voice, maggio 2011)
 
...I do strongly recommend this modestly priced CD/DVD...
(Peter Grahame Woolf  )

Latest reviews!
…Longobardi keeps Sciarrino's textures impressively fluid, while clearly demarcating his structural joins and fold-ins…….Again, Longobardi is marvellous, as he plays the wild dynamic extremes Sciarrìno intended and somehow creates the illusion that his written-out structures are, in fact, spontaneous and open-ended. He also delivers a muscular, dramatic Gaspard that unashamedly plays to the house.
(Philip Clark, International Piano, Nov/Dec 2009)

...Ciro Longobardi plays Gaspard, a score I consider to be over played these days, with a refreshing lack of sentimentality and superb clarity. By eschewing theatrics (via taut rhythm and very clean, lightly pedaled texture), he brings us closer to the essence of the score...
(Peter Burwasser, Fanfare Magazine, Jan/Feb 2010)
 
Imperdibile. (5 stars)
