Canti dal Silenzio
The level was high in all respects, splendid and homogeneous sound on all four strings, almost impeccable intonation and an extremely polished way of delivering or removing any musical element. [...]Marcello Fera has been able to reach the Fera has managed to reach the primordial place of every musician [...] that enchantment with which the relationship with the music is born and that it is the privilege of a few to preserve - achieved not by fortune but by consciousness, as it came to us explaining
Francesco Denini on SuonoSonda
It was not a concert in the strict sense of the word: Fera invented a way of being on stage that was really little frequented by the instrumentalists and even composers, because by playing he told his story, he told his art and his life as an artist.
