“Levy’s recording is the first documentation of a remarkable part of Wagnerian pianistic work which has an importance for the interpretation which is not merely statistical”.
Peter Cossé, Germany

“How could a pianist achieve the crescendo, the pinnacles of sound, the emotional peaks Wagner demanded of his already oversize orchestra? But, with Levy at the piano, it is an exceptionally thrilling experience, climax building on climax… “.
Gramophone, UK

“Levy is also a Mendelssohnian of stature: sweet but rich tone, supple phrasing, paradoxically ardor-driven restraint… His decision to treat the music as a reminiscence of passion is in line with the intentions suggested by the title. Warmly recommended, warmly recommended”.
Fanfare, USA

“Levy strikes me as a brilliant pianist with his sensitive and skilled touch for fine nuances… A wonderful tribute to Venice and the fascination that this city, despite everything, still has”.
CD Classica, Italy
