Review "ISB MAGAZINE" issued february 2013
(International Society of Bassists)
Fagone is a soloist of the highest order,
yet he never lets the virtuosity of the solo part detract from the operatic;
this is an emotive performance where the bass line
never loses its inherent drama,
so that when he lets fly with sixteenths passage leading
to the firs movement cadenza,
it's an electrifying surge.

English Specialized Magazine “THE STRAD ” issued in June 2011
[..The world's greatest double bass virtuoso of the 19th century,
G.Bottesini composed a series of the most incredibly difficult work for his instrument
to demonstrate his vast superiority to all of those around him.
Today they remain a massive challenge, on that Enrico Fagone,
principal double bass of the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana,
tackles head on, displaying an agility on the fingerboard
that deals comfortably with the fiendishly difficult outer movements of the B minor Concerto..]

[..Charming double bass classical music, it would be senseless not to enjoy the extreme pleasure given by these music pieces and performers:
three first-class solo players, Enrico Fagone the double bass, Walter Zagato the violin, Corrado Giuffredi the clarinet,
a glamorous orchestra and an alluring conduct. This is a refined, amusing and unmissable CD.]
