> About "XY"
«A complex work that has a true objective: the research of some new musical features. A great thing, I mean!» (Mario Evangelista, musicologist)

«I think that 'experimentation' and 'structure' are very well harmonized: one of the best works that I had recently listened to!»
(Vincenzo Giorgio, music critic)

«I appreciated stylistic coherence, compositions' accuracy, quartet's cohesiveness but most the philosophy of the whole project. Congratulations: a great album!»
(Paolo Battifora, Secolo XIX)
