I heard playing the young pianist Adalberto Riva, and I was very impressed from his brilliant technique, his beautiful sound, and his respect for musical shape and ideas. I believe he could do very well in a major piano competition as well as on stage.
BRUNO CANINO, January 1994
Mr. Adalberto Riva is a very promising young pianist. His playing shows intelligence, feeling and a remarkable technical ease.
PAUL BADURA-SKODA, June 1996
Adalberto
Riva has participated in my master classes in Milan and Briosco this year. He
has demonstrated tremendous talent in my presence.
I found he has great musicality and
superb technique in his performances. I have seen him making big progress with
his diligentstudies in piano. I believe that with his talent he will have a
great success. I highly recommend him.
VITALY MARGULIS, July 1998
This young artist has obvious qualities which make of him one of the most interesting talents in the new generation. I remember with pleasure the collaboration with him and my orchestra (the Timisoara Philarmonic, Rumania) in the Mozart A Major Concerto K.488. His playing was really very convincing and clever. He was very noble style, what is very seldom at our time.
I warmly recommend him and formulate
my best wishes for the future of his career.
JEAN-FRANÇOIS ANTONIOLI, September 1999
Amoung the young pianist whom I have had the opportunity to hear and conseil, Adalberto Riva, with his gifts as a virtuoso and a sensitivity which impresses the audience, seems to have a destiny for a great career as a concert artist.
DAG ACHATZ, September 1999
M. Riva est un élève régulier et travailleur, doté d'une très belle
personnalité musicale. Je le recommande très chaleureusement.
