Christophe Steyne
Maiorana constantly courts his listeners with delicately articulated and extremely colourful playing, doing a great service to both Kapsberger’s and Ambrosini’s works above all. Inventiveness radiates from this recital.

His arrangements, additions and alterations sound completely idiomatic, and showcase his internalization of the idiom, certainly finding the balance between ‘rigour and freedom’ he was seeking. The flexibility shown to the written score is also evident in his technically excellent and expressive performances, highlighting the improvisatory and impermanent nature of this repertory.
