Francesco Caramiello, a pianist who made some recordings of music of Giuseppe Martucci and Giovanni Sgambati, gave solid, fairly persuasive performances of several of Martucci’s shorter piano works.

Nürnberger Philharmoniker have let themselves be contaminated and have engaged a duel with the solist whose the involved audience has been witness.

The young artist stood out to the honours of the news for a valuabe recording of Martucci's concertos for piano and orchestra with the Philarmonia Orchestra in London.

He's one of the artists who gives little importance to the outward… the pianist shows all his talent: he moves with  among all the composers in his program easily… : Martucci, naturally, the author who, more than everyone, gave fame to him, the "Tema con variazioni" and the little known "Fuga": Caramiello point out all the structurals aspects with exemplary clearness and doesn't fail to dry, with contained sonority, that pinch of rhetoric which here and there comes out of the pages of neapolitan compositor. On the contrary, the pianist’s wise choices seems to give new poetic life even to pieces by trasgressive composers like Luciano Berio or John Cage . Caramello is an artist of eminent traditional extraction, brought up between pianistic technic and exercices of counterpoint… when he takes on modern or contemporary music he lights on the aspects that are closer to his own feelings, all under the control of his naturally elegant touch.

Strong of a solid technic and of an incisive approach, Caramiello went through, with care, the musical line moulded by Aaron Copland... an executive commitment which Caramiello kept in the course of the recital... so it was for graceful melodic ways of manner fin de siècle, by Edward MacDowell: "Sea Pieces" op. 55 found defined and light lines, exposed with sensibility... not too veiled irony and clear reference to the popular traditions, are the ingredients of "Souvenir de Portorico" by L. M. Gottschalk,  in Caramiello's interpretation all tends to produce colors and atmospheres through the impression decidedly virtuosity... appropriate execution for Cage's music (1948), in programme with "Dream" listened in a careful and defined reading, with suggestive characters.  

Long final with Elliot Carter's music. "Piano Sonata" composed in 1946 is a score made of asymmetries and contrasts with evident nerves and accurate plots, and Caramiello's interpretation, once more played for the pleasure of speed, convinced the audience, winning the applause.

… Caramiello brings to the piano not only his technical skill in running after "torn" rhythms but also an educated taste for dynamic shading and phrasing"
