Reviews
Brescia Today – July 2010
Massimiliano Caldi leads the International Orchestra of Italy with passion and expertise.
www.gliamicidellamusica.net – May 2010 – Roberta Pedrotti
The production, also from Itria, of King Lear documented in this box set benefits from the conductorship of a director particularly well versed in this type of repertoire, such as Massimiliano Caldi.
Tuning Fork – October 2010 – Michel Parouty
Une mention pour le chef Massimiliano Caldi: sa direction sait trouver le ton juste et l &eacuto;quilibre nècessaire à une ceuvre attachante.
Diverdi – May 2010 – Fernando Fraga
Coro de Bratislava (con innumerables posibilidades de dar cuenta de su clase), dirigidos por Massimiliano Caldi, asimismo batuta que se encargò de resuscitar Don Bucefalo.
International Record Review – September 2010 – John T.Hughes
Caldi’s conducting holds the disparate elements together, but of the two Cagnoni operas that we have on CD I prefer Don Bucefalo, which Caldi also leads.
Orpheus July/August – Geerd Heinsen
Und Gluck gab’s auch im Graben, wo Massimiliano Caldi ein vollig anderes Orchester zu dirigieren schien.
Music – June 2010 – Marco Leo
The Orchestra Internazionale d’Italia, conducted by Massimiliano Caldi, reveals on disc a confidence and clarity of timbre, to which too little attention had been paid live, that now place it among mature ensembles.
