“I met Umberto as a cellist some years ago when he was a student, and he now has become a composer with a rare touch of awareness and sensitivity.
Todays as yesterday I find in his soul the same enthusiasm, a deep sense of humanity as well as the same tension towards utopia that are concretized in his living, brilliant and sheer music, which is evolving along a path that I am following with much interest.”

(Enrico Bronzi, cellist)
