Here are some remarks about Mr. Martino's music from performers:

"When I conduct performance seminars, I always cite Donald Martino's FROM THE OTHER SIDE  as the example of how to write for the flute" - Laura Gilbert, concert artist

"supremely lyrical, fantastical, deeply soulful, brilliant...a theater of characters -- in that sense , truly Schumannesque... a humanistic achievement" - Rolf Schulte, concert violinist

"'Martino always plays it safe' ( fa il cauto- translator).  It's amazing that he can be so transcendentally expressive and 'original' ( puo fare il proprio nido-tr.), limited as he is to the first position" - Eleanora Gherminella da Braccio, renowned concert  violist

"a real composer who writes real music with a stunning sonic palette... intelligent but not indulgent complexity with the heart and soul of a true poet... and the foremost living exponent of the compositional use of rubber mallets on mallet instruments." - Michael Parola, percussionist, the Core Ensemble

"a rich palette of sonority and variety of touch exploring in original ways the potential of the piano." - Stuart Gordon, from A HISTORY OF KEYBOARD LITERATURE

"Donald Martino writes about human feelings and how they change from moment to moment.  Martino's 'mysteries' are the fluctuating emotions of living, feeling, souls.  He investigates the landscape of the piano as few have done." - David Burge, from TWENTIETH CENTURY PIANO MUSIC

"As a composer-pianist I just  adore Martino's music.  It's so 'easy to play' (comodo-translator), and yet so rewarding."  - Ferruccio Busoni

"When I perform Donald Martino's music I constantly challenge myself how to express each note.  His manuscript contains many brush strokes that I must realize in sound.   He hears everything -- he notates everything -- and it produces some of the most passionate, romantic, intense, difficult and best music I have ever played.   This is music that lasts." - Kenneth Radnofsky, Professor of Saxophone, New England and Boston Conservatories
