Soundboard _ SoloDuo in Concert _ GFA Columbus
SoloDuo in concert @ GFA Festival 2011 _ June 30, 2011 _ Legacy Hall/Columbus State University, Columbus GA
"Thursday's evening concert was the amazing performance that we have come to expect of SoloDuo, the guitar duo of Lorenzo Micheli and Matteo Mela. [...] Where Presti and Lagoya were equisite, as in the Debussy, SoloDuo were sublime. The Giuliani was breath-taking. SoloDuo have the sort of transcendent greatness that Presti-Lagoya had."
Richard Long, "Soundboard", Vol. XXXVIII No. 2 (2012)
"The duo is one of the finest on the planet. They easily toss off the most varied and difficult repertoire. This concert was amazing!"
