Roberto Capocchi, guitarist

“Capocchi is, of course, a longtime local favorite who draws from classical and international styles with beautiful aplomb.” - Alex De Vore

“Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra joined guest guitarist Roberto Capocchi for a spirited performance of Rodrigo’s Concerto de Aranjuez. (Capocchi)... showed off solid classical guitar chops in a passionate, intense performance.” - Cathalena E. Burch

“An extremely expressive player, communicating depths of emotion in his performances that touch his audiences and move them to respond... a performance that convinces the audience they are listening to a true master.”

“Guitarist Roberto Capocchi's interpretation was a delight for both one's senses and spirit. He let himself go to the melody that inevitably captured all the audience...”

“Capocchi presented elaborate refinement in his renditions of Walton's Five Bagatelles for Guitar, Bach's Ciaccona and Giuliani's Gran Ouverture.”

“Capocchi is a very talented young guitarist with a nice touch and a sense of rhythm that promises a rewarding future relationship with the music of Astor Piazzolla.” - Don von Schriltz

“The artistic musical sense of a genius... an extraordinarily competent and committed teacher... certainly among the country's greatest names in the guitar.”

“That's amazing! Such a lovely, singing tone!”

“His technique is flawless, a gorgeous series of expertly plucked notes that sound as if more than just one guitar is at work.” - Alex De Vore

“Immense feeling... concerned not with technique, since he transcends it, but rather with expression... maybe he held so many of us in silence precisely through his expressiveness.”

“Capocchi's rare musical refinement displayed polished technique and conscientious analysis of the music. His wide dynamics and color palette matched all nuances of his musical imagination.”
