Afsluiten deed Baldocci met twee bisnummers. Een grappig “A few more excuses” van de bevriende Italiaanse componist Giuseppe Lupis, waarin voetgestamp en neuswerk komt bij kijken [...]

[Baldocci did two encores. A funny "A few more excuses" of fellow Italian composer Giuseppe Lupis, in which foot stomping and toe work comes into play.]

"Soittimen varsinainen potentiaali tuli silti parhaiten esiin ylimääräisenä esitetyssä sooloteoksessa. Gounod'n Marionetin surumarssissa (sov. Giuseppe Lupis) sointien leveys ja monikerroksisuus toteutuivat hienosti."

[The actual potential of the instrument still came out best in the presented extra solo work. In Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette (arr. by Giuseppe Lupis) the width and multilayer of the tones came true finely.]

"The music that we've heard from Lupis is wonderfully imaginative, lively and humorous“

(Duo Sweet 17, Brussels, Belgium, Sep. 29, 2012)

The result was just brilliant, as Lupis wrote pieces that truly reflect my way of approaching piano playing, life and the audience”
