How comforting, at my age, to think that dear Antonio Lysy is the Incontri's guide and director of perhaps the most loving and youngest of all festivals!
Yehudi Menuin, OM, KBE
He combined flamboyance with taste and his exceptionally warm and mellifluous tone. Antonio Lysy's musicianship bespeaks irrefutable greatness.
The Strad
Antonio Lysy played Dvorak's Cello Concerto with a finely focused tone, an excellent technique that was always at the service of the music, and complete commitment.
Daily Telegraph
His feeling for the emotional themes of Dvorak's work, his excellent technique and the sweetly reflective tone he produced in the adagio would alone have earned him the rich applause that greeted his performance.
Manchester Evening News
In a sensational performance of the Haydn Concerto, Antonio Lysy played with verve, authority and immaculate phrasing.
La Stampa
Serious, composed, he expressed himself with a rare serenity, perfect in rhythm with a warm full sound. A name to remember!

Antonio Lysy mastered his exceptionally difficult part with astonishing ease and a satin tone.
Zurichsee-Zeitung (Zurich)
He is a great artist. A brilliant virtuoso.
Politiken (Cophenhagen)
Violoncelliste absolument complet, Lysy fait sans cesse admirer une intonation irréprochable, une sonorite aristocratique, une musicalité et une concentration qui retiennent constamment l'attention.
