One of the best performances of that quintet that I have ever heard!! Absolutely beautiful.

[@RobertoArmocida]

Absolutely the real winner of this competition! Bravissimo Giovanni!

[@elgoleminculto]

That quintet is so great, really hearth taking reexposition on the second movement.
Best quintet on the concourse semifinal by the way both for the music, sound, tuning and integration with the quartet

[@WilfriedBerk]

Best D. Lovreglio, Fantasy on "Traviata"

[@junnansun9653]

13:20 one of the most beautiful moment in this piece, he made it so special and with so much heart❤️❤️❤️Bravo Giovanni, I can’t wait to listen to you live one day!

[@francescobottigliero6251]

Bravo Mr. Punzi!!! That's a so impressive performance: great passion and masterly control of the phrase in Mozart; huge beauty of the sound well mixed with the requested variety of colors in Poulenc.

[@robertmitchell166]

I think I see a tear at 16:04... my exact sentiments. Gorgeous.

[@brownie3454]

I would give you the prize just for your Poulenc. Probably my new favorite interpretation of the piece.

[@likuoliang]

Your playing touches the deepest soul. You are the best!

[@ClaroneBR]

Great

[@ronlivaudais6523]

Look at his expression as he plays which he transfers to the horn. Winner hands down for me!

[@klarinetta]

Great Mozart

[@christostheologos1720]

My favorite quintet Mozart after Sabin Meyer bravo!!!

[@trombonete]

This guy is the true winner of the competition! ...

[@MrPiccolomib]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@nicomomesso5163]

Strepitoso Giovanni!!!Quanto ti invidio….

[@ronlivaudais6523]

Quite a showman as well!

[@mking776]

I thought his staccato notes throughout the Mozart were a bit too short and, in my opinion, outside the style of Mozart. They were sometimes distracting. Otherwise he is a brilliant technician.

[@ghuuyy-du9mf]

Is he using R13 A clarinet?

[@carlhopkinson]

Very good. He adjusts his seat height so he can easily reach the keys of his clarinet.

[@frank.5252]

2:04

[@alessandrosoldani8633]

Ha vinto lui

[@Clarinet69]

Such a bright yet heavy sound. I much prefer Kevin Spagnolo. Auguri a tutti

[@bulbob100]

violin and other musician was not as good as calros ferreira musician

[@badabing1292]

Your massive head movement disturbs nearly every aspect of your playing.

[@someoneelse361]

[@Scipion_Africanus]

grimaces is not music
