“Martinelli has shown that, in addition to talent and natural freshness of spirit, he has an admirable interpretative and executive ability. An artistic sensitivity that goes far beyond technique.

(Bergamo News)
“But what was truly striking was his ability to juxtapose such power with moments of extreme delicacy, featuring poetic mezzo piano passages and single-handed phrases rendered with an almost meditative softness.”
(Opera Libera)
