Fiorentino was a Lisztian of convincing credentials... He had a big technique, transparency of texture, wide dynamics which were never employed for superficial, crowd-pleasing effect, never forced through the tone and was quite without the egocentricity often to be found amongst less musically engaged colleagues. Allied to these qualities is a faithfulness ­ not literalness ­ to the score. Classical Music Web
