⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the Bach Toccatas

“The metric freedom and liberal embellishments characterizing these works’ fantasia-like sections are handled with such subtlety and proportion that one hardly notices the occasional filling out of textures or octave doublings, nor the pianist’s use of the sostenuto pedal to ensure the utmost transparency in fugal textures. […] such clear, intelligent and excellently engineered Bach playing”

“Ferrucci takes his time, exploring sonorities and tracing out themes over a leisurely four minutes. His touch is assertive yet sprung, taking advantage of both the instrument and a spacious approach that allows Bach’s harmonies to linger in the air. The final fugue is sure but steady, with crisp decorations and a fine sense of fantasy. “

(Clive Pagel | Limelight Magazine | 01.07.25)

Amadeus Magazine Italy

“Jonathan Ferrucci […] risolve con intelligenza e sensibilità il “nodo” interpretativo assicurando al discorso una sottile flessibilità interna senza mai perdere di vista il rigore apollineo della scrittura di Bach. […] Ne risulta una visione di straordinaria nitidezza, in cui la poesia di questi lavori emerge attraverso la ricerca di trasparenza e la cura certosina per il suono, mai cadendo nella rigidezza.”

(Luca Ciammarughi | Amadeus Magazine | 01.05.25)

Pizzicato

“the compositions, structured down to the millimeter, unfold an extremely natural, organic inner life. The clarity of Ferrucci’s playing and the transparency of his phrasing make the architecture of the music seem to have grown naturally.”

ALBUM OF THE WEEK

“Those who play this music almost have to blend in with the composer, who sits at the keyboard and improvises out of the mood of the moment.” [… ] The young pianist Jonathan Ferrucci manages to do this with great self-evident. [… ] Bach is something like his daily bread. Play it, hear it, breathe it. “

Audio Klassik

“Ferrucci’s finely lit album already shows its own tone – clear glass, virtuoso, highly transparent. More of these! “

Kultur Abdruck

“a crystal-clear, then again fluorescent sound surface, sometimes flooded with youthful energy, which gives the impression that listeners are not witnessing the interpretation, but the creation of the toccatas.” “
