Praised for his “revelatory” performances and “jaw-dropping virtuosity,” Alessandro Deljavan inspires what critics have called genuine “Delja-mania” among audiences worldwide.
“For once, there was no automatic standing ovation but a genuine, and well deserved, explosion of applause and bravos.”
—Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News
“His phrasing, dynamic shaping, and unforced natural rubato testify to his uncontrived expressive strength and his effortless technique — the foundation of his unique rhetoric, which only this makes possible and allows. A benchmark-setting recording.”

Review of The Last Breath – Chopin: Four Scherzos, Barcarolle, Nocturnes Op. 62
“His playing is full of intensive power and contagious artistry.”
—Dmitri Bashkirov
“When I heard Alessandro Deljavan render the Schumann Fantasie, it felt as though he was the composer playing it. The pure fire, in-the-moment excitement, and incredible virtuosity left me breathless. It reminded me of hearing Gilels at Carnegie Hall when I was a kid. I nearly fell over the balcony in my unconstrained, impassioned embrace of such awe-inspiring artistry.”
