"... exceptional, precise and of quality!"

(Prof. Antonio Latanza, director of the museum of the musical instruments of Rome)

“ …He shows technical solid and strong, excellent heir of the school of Fiorentino and Germani”.                  

(Federico Borsari, concert organist)

“A CD with little works well-known and a large search in the touch and in the nuance. I love this way to do music!”

(Francis Chapelet, concert organist)

“…when this musician has started to play, public has understood: there has arrived the talented powerful interpreter”.

(Antonina Vinnikova, Russian journalist)

“…Repertory of rare excellent listening played with large taste. I recommend to all of the purchase of these original CD for organ”.

(Wijnand Van de Pol, concert organist)

“What Marco Lo Muscio presents is my ideal of music: entertaining and meaningful. Prog-Rock played on pipe organ: why nobody else thought of something so cool before?!? Marco is a keyboards ‘maestro’; his arrangements are warm, and respectful of the original. A real pleasure to listen to, both on CD and live”.

Corrado Canonici(Director of “World Concert Artists”, Double Bassist, Manager of Keith Emerson)
