“Ceretta is a new name to me, but one I hope we’ll be seeing much more of. Indeed, he’s one of a spectacularly talented new generation of Italian conductors that really gives hope for the future.”
“Above all, what I’ll take with me from tonight is Ceretta’s conducting, which was so invigorating and alive. I will definitely be following his career with attention.”
“He led a reading that was delightfully swift. The Bolognese orchestra responded with playing of excellent quality for him. Attack was crisp and unanimous, with winds nicely forward with some extremely eloquent solo playing...”
“Ceretta also encouraged his singers to add some tasteful embellishments to the line.”
“In Parma, at the Festival Verdi, I was thrilled by Diego Ceretta’s conducting of La battaglia di Legnano, where he established swift tempi and encouraged ornamentation, essential in early Verdi.”
