"Paul Bisaccia's concert was Wonderful! Marvelous! And very well attended. I grew up playing piano, I've attended hundreds of recitals, I've heard Gershwin hundreds of times, but I've never heard Gershwin played like that! So light and airy; the music just seemed to drop off his fingertips! Needless to way, we all--the concerts committee, the church council, and the entire congregation--were very pleased."
(Kathleen Wagner, Ascension Lutheran Church, Boynton Beach, Florida, presenter)

"Paul's remarks reflect an infectious energy and unforced enthusiasm forming an invisible comforter that instantly wraps the room in warmth...No wall here between audience and performer....Paul weaves together each piece in his program by relating historical and hysterical anecdotes about the composers and their work. Idle showbiz chatter? Hardly. Bisaccia's well-chosen tales are magnets attaching the audience to the music...After the performance, Bisaccia greets his admirers with expressions of gratitude and cheerfully autographs posters for an assortment of budding artists...No rushing. No trace of airs...The personal connection continues long after the music fades."
(Eric Gottfried, Metroline, Hartford, CT)

On Television.....

"'Great American Piano' a Star-Spangles Show: Another sure-fire winner...Nothing on the program rivals in sheer excitement Bisaccia's incendiary account of Sousa's beloved 'Stars and Stripes Forever.' Every memory you ever had of this stirring march, everything distinctly American about American music, and every ounce of adrenalin that ever coursed through you at the first strains of its sparkling trio, lit up by the famous piccolo solo (it's hard to believe a single pianist can make it all work, but Bisaccia does) is packed into this performance. The ruffle of snare drums, the enticing smell of fried dough, the texture of fresh apples and cotton candy, the muggy heat of a July afternoon are all captured on the keyboard as Bisaccia brings to a close an all-too-brief glimpse of 'The Great American Piano.'" (Springfield Union News, MA)

"Bisaccia's performance of Gershwin couldn't be righter. It is all good fun and good music." (Edward Jablonski, eminent Gershwin scholar and biographer)
