“I like your style, Mario;
A blend of Debussy, Ravel, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett and naturally You.
Very sophisticated and elegant. What I have heard shows classical studies. You play with great feeling and intense mood. Moreover your music is not very tonal-based. Congratulations!”

“Mario Mattia’s piano improvisations are stunning – stunning in their clarity, their motion, their elegance. Not fragments of what might be, but complete, complex compositions, emotional, vivid,... from the heart to the ear.”

“Mario Mattia’s remarkable piano improvisations manage to marry a sense of freedom, spontaneity and emotional depth with an uncanny compositional attention to form and structure.”
