“He has really amazed us for his flawless and enchanting technique and his expressive
maturity, uncommon in such a young musician: warmness of the sound, breathing phrasing,
refined colours; you had the feeling that the artist and his instrument were one”
Il Risveglio Popolare (concert at Auditorium Mozart, Ivrea, November 2013)

“Tomasi’s excellent musicality and wonderful sound from his Philip Woodfield’s guitar fitted
extremely well with his colorful program (especially Takemitsu, and Britten) and proved to
everyone that his artistic sense will lead him to a promising career.”
Gendai Guitar Magazine (concert at Hakuju Hall, Tokyo, December 2017)

“(…) The second part of the concert was entirely dedicated to the nineteenth-century genius
Giulio Regondi: Tomasi engaged in two works which only a few guitarists perform due to the
terrible technical difficulties, the studies n. 2 and n. 4. A challenge which the musician from
Pavia overcame with skill and sensitivity thanks to a sparkling and very precise touch.
Afterwards, he played Introduction and Caprice op. 23, another difficult and virtuosistic work
by Giulio Regondi: during the fifteen minutes-long piece, Tomasi proved his technical ability,
adding color and vigour (when needed) to the work with an astonishing ease.”

“A new record premiere has been displayed with incredible assurance to our listening. It is
Davide Giovanni Tomasi’s, a 26-year-old guitarist from Pavia, and it is no less than a
masterpiece (…) A record of great merit that confirms the authority of a performer of the
highest level capable of hazarding such an ambitious programme and of disclosing it with his
strong personality.”

“Before the break, Davide Giovanni Tomasi gave his listeners an anticipated highlight of the
program, the famous chaconne by Johann Sebastian Bach (…). It was immediately noticeable how
important this music is to him. Its charisma had the effect of a quiet plea in the restlessness of our
present. There was not a lack of effect in the hall – absolute silence for a long time, then a great
applause. (…) An evening that should remain in the special memories of the guests.”

“What a guitar evening! Excellent, rich, magical, with original music and a great young talent. He is
not a guitarist of wild, gritty grasp, he does not aim his magnificent technique to superficial circus
effects, but to the finest quality, drawing artistry from the music itself.”
Tiroler Tageszeitung – (concert for Meister und Kammerkonzerte Innsbruck, January 2018)
