"Emanuele Cappellotto shares his vast knowledge of the Italian mandolin, its history, pedagogy, and current practice"
August Watters, Exploring classical mandolin, Berklee Press, 07/2015
"[...] Naples, 5 December 2012, perfect Recital of Duo Cappellotto - Sabbadin [...] the Duo, through the repertoire that has chosen, has created an amazing journey through many forgotten artists, active in many Italian cities, discovering unimaginable fineness meeting, with fruitful encounter, elegance and philology. [...] A triumph of good taste. [...] "
Massimo Lo Iacono, Il Roma, 09/12/2012

"Emanuele Cappellotto mandolin and Gianluca Sabbadin, guitar [...] fearlessly challenge the rugged trails that climb on these pages and so they get a well made disk containing an extremely interesting repertoire."
Ermanno Brignolo, SeiCorde, Michelangeli Editore, 12/2011
"The CD by Emanuele Cappellotto (mandolin) and Gianluca Sabbadin (guitar) runs the not so known repertoire of music for plucked duo, proposing masterfully four compositions by contemporary authors: Norbert Sprongl, Guido Santorsola, Ernst Krenek and Angelo Gilardino. A little gem for connoisseurs."
Riccardo Santangelo, Amadeus, November 2011
"[...] Cappellotto and Sabbadin relentlessly follow this perpetual motion in all the sixtyfour minutes [...]this accurated musical mechanism that we perceive as a regular flow of beats from beginning to end,in reality we see every minute in a continuous burst of surprises ever equal to each other. We recommend, strongly, more plays because nothing is more unpredictable of the regular flow of time! [...]"
Daniela Floris, A proposito di Jazz di Gerardo Gatto, 17th/10/2011
"Four Clockworks for mandolin & guitar [...] The proposal is interesting for anyone wishing to understand contemporary directions just covered and not for this to be omitted. Not for everyone, no doubt, so brave."
Pier Luigi Zanzi, Suono, 10/2011
"[...] Emanuele Cappellotto and Gianluca Sabbadin are two excellent musicians with refined tastes[...] This is an album exciting, complex, sophisticated, but capable of arousing immediate sensory pleasure, both for the beauty of the score, either because of the intensity of playing which places Cappellotto and Sabbadin in the area of brave and virtuous."
