Federico Ferlito is a wonderful young pianist who sometimes reminds me of Dinu Lipatti. The crystalline sound, the logical construction and the sensitive interpretation immerse the listener in total harmony – Anna Kravtchenko, professor at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana
He expresses an admirable and fascinating emotional, communicative and musical “feeling”. His musical discourse is always supported by an impeccable technique and an excellent interpretative maturity – Carlo Todeschi, musicologist
I consider Federico a true artist; I had the pleasure and the fortune to work with him for some time and I could appreciate his musical qualities, his great ability to concentrate, his tenacity and the great need to deepen even the smallest detail of the piano repertoire – Corrado Ratto, professor at the Istituto Musicale Vincenzo Bellini di Catania
