I agree with it .

Michelle Campanella, in my opinion (i listened him in live
performances,when i was student at Rome),is one of the worst musicians of
the century.  He is considered by his fans as the highest representative of
the Vincenzo Vitale pianistic school.This school is of a really great level
under the technical (mechanical) side, but the "caposcuola" (master) of it
(Vincenzo Vitale) was too a bad musician.Unfortunately all "descendants" of
this school were most of a low musical level.Two exceptions i knew from it
were Franco medori,and Carlo Bruno.  Maybe Campanella recording of Liszt
Rapsodys is good(anyway, playing Liszt music under the musical point of
view,is not difficult for anybody),but i can't imagine him playing Mozart

Very good advice,despite i prefer Mozart to Haydn,etc.  Cordially.
