I performed in London with London Simphony, recording, as soloist, the “Poiesis” concert and Concert in ReM by M. Castelnuovo-Tedesco in the “Angel Studios” of London. 
 “Nicola Montella has shown an astonishing technical mastery and a remarkable sensitiveness, held in a fully clear sound […], the rather large audience was in raptures” «Critica Classica» 
 “Nicola Montella’s interpretative approach is appreciated for its balance between the expressive pathos […] and vigorous traits of sound, almost sculptural, metaphorically. […] Gifted with an impressive and solid technique, aside from a determined delicacy […], the approbation has been unanimous” «Roma» 
 “One of the first things which can be appreciated about the work of Montella, young stage lion, […] is his taste for symmetry: two sonatas […] which have to open and close the record, […], not free from the typical Paganinian virtuoso feats: […] masterfully faced up by the performer…” «Il Corriere musicale» 5 November 2016 
 “Montella plays his instrument with passion and mastery; he leads us upon rather unexplored paths with vibrating acoustics” «Music, 282» December 2016-January 2017 
 “Une grande maîtrise de l’instrument nous illumine tout au long du programme, avec notamment beaucoup de nuances finement exécutées, ainsi qu’un usage de différents timbres des plus judicieux. Une large dynamique guitaristique au service de la musique. Une réussite !” «Guitare classique» 18 August 2017
