Pier Francesco Forlenza offered the audience a concert to remember; an excellent performance, marked by balance, great ease, and rhythmic vitality, also revealing remarkable sensitivity in the twentieth-century repertoire.

A profound and insightful musician… Delivers interpretations that are subtly yet intensely personalized.
Paul Badura-Skoda
Pianist
Pier Francesco Forlenza possesses an extraordinary analytical ability and a very intense way of playing. His interpretation of Berg’s Sonata was magnificent.
Paolo Pasqualin
Percussionist
Playing with Pier Francesco is always a joy. He is a pianist capable of blending the freedom of improvisation with a deep sensitivity for sound. His sense of interplay makes every performance a lively and inspired dialogue, where the music takes shape naturally and spontaneously.
Michael Jennings
Pianist
Pier Francesco Forlenza is an intense and profound artist, as is his gaze, which always manages to capture the most essential and least expected aspects of the world. In the beauty of his art, one finds an infinite curiosity, a lively mind, and, above all, a sensitive humanity: his music is a rare and precious voice, one that always persuades with sincerity, getting closer to the intimate essence of sound.
Maurizio Viggiani
Pianist
I have always been fascinated and mesmerized by his will and natural ability to conceal technical difficulties in his performances, deliberately taking a step back as a keyboard virtuoso, even when tackling the most complex pieces. What remains is Music—essential, sincere, and powerful—because it strikes deep chords; not those of the ego, but those of the heart.
Bruno Billone
Pianist
From adolescence to maturity, Maestro Forlenza has guided my growth and development not only as a musician: the elegance, clarity, flair, and intuition of the pianist, but also the tenderness, humanity, and deep love for music he demonstrates as a person. These are his life lessons.
Roberto Moliterni
Scriptwriter
Pier Francesco Forlenza as well as listening, music makes you see it, it becomes a tactile experience-he himself, his body, becomes a concert. His is music that is real in a multiplicity of dimensions, some of which have the magic of elusiveness, are the gateway to an elsewhere.
Francesco Castelnuovo
Writer and journalist
There is a well-known saying among musicians: ‘Music is the silence between the notes…When you listen to Pier Francesco Forlenza, the first thing that comes to mind is that very phrase. Whether it is before you see him rest his hands on the piano or before you hear him expound an explanation of the principles of harmony, you will find that Pier Francesco will dedicate his first tempo to a measure of silence.
