Bio / Background
JULIAN GARGIULO, TECHNIQUE AND SENSITIVITY.
What the critics wrote after his latest tour of Italy (Aug-Sept 2003):
"...exquisite Gershwin..."
"...a romantic pianist...with a particular sensibility for Schumann."
"...his Beethoven sonata was beautifully balanced...rich in textural subtleties."
(taken from a review in L'Arena by Chiara Zocca after Gargiulo's performance at the Philharmonic Hall in Verona, during a season also featuring conductors, Zubin Mehta and Kurt Masur and pianists, Murray Perahia and Grigory Sokolov.)
Julian Lawrence Gargiulo has performed in the United States, Italy, France, Germany and Russia, and always met with both critical and public acclaim. After his Washington debut at the U.S. State Department, the critics said "...Mr. Gargiulo's powerful energy enveloped his audience."(State Magazine) In Germany "...all the elements for an International career are present: talent, musicality, technique and charisma.

Along with Mr. Gargiulo's busy schedule of solo engagements, he performs regularly with a variety of other instrumentalists and singers. Recent collaborations include recitals with the Russian soprano Olga Makarina (Metropolitan Opera) and the trumpet player Josef Burgstaller (Canadian Brass).
