IL MATTINO - Naples, Italy - María Gabriella della Sala

"A truthful and proper triumph for Rafael Gintoli, highly gifted Argentine violinist, who possesses most excellent technique and exquisite affability. A mass of luxury and musical wealth poured over a violin and made to bounce back on the audience, the mastership of an instrument only achieved by a great concert player"

IL CORRIERE ADRIATICO - Fermo, Italy - Paolo Marconi

Magnificent demonstration of high violin technique supported stylewise and aesthetically by the finest musical sense unstrung by the soloist together with the complex ornamental figures contained in the task which accumulates difficulty upon difficulty"
