'An instrumentalist of truly remarkable gifts. Most striking are his precision and variety of touch, creating a rich dynamic range from a pianissimo so hushed it cocks the ear to a full but never harsh fortissimo.'

'But standing out is the Twelfth Concerto, with its opening very much in the Sturm und Drangtradition, and reaching forward towards something more Romantic.'
BBC Music Magazine
'Sensual and dark, dizzying with poetry, Mario Brunello's cello bewitches from the very first seconds.'
Classica
Diapason d'Or: 'Through meticulous work, combining musicological intelligence with just the right amount of virtuosity and taste, he arranges the pieces in a captivating itinerary.'

The three Op. 74 quartets ... are wonderfully inventive and original, and the Maxwell Quartet plays them with infectious enthusiasm throughout. Altogether irresistible.
