Il Giornale, December 2, 2007
... They were all lucky to listen to a wonderful and well-balanced orchestra, conducted very attentively by the young Giampaolo Bisanti, who even takes control over the stage, and is never insecure, inert, or banal, and who greatly enjoys Mozart.
Lorenzo Arruga

Positive confirmations and pleasant surprises on the music scene as well.

Giampaolo Bisanti creates balance with a secure hand, sensitive to the dynamics of the score with pertinent choices and an excellent taste for interpretation; his attention to the stage, which the young conductor never loses sight of, is admirable.”

Verdi Theatre in Salerno delirious about the tenor Neil Schicoff
Padova: at the Teatro Verdi, once again warm applause for the undissolvable binomial “realist”

Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci

By a lucky flight that took off from Verona where he had been occupied with Don Giovanni by Mozart, the young conductor Gianpaolo Bisanti fleetingly arrives to replace maestro Daniel Oren, absent for family reasons, to conduct the orchestra at the “Verdi” theatre.
The orchestra, conducted by the aforementioned maestro Bisanti, demonstrated brilliance in the capacity for an ever---increasing quality of performance which could masterfully blend with the precision of the young conductor, destined to be talked about.

Love Means Jealousy
Padova: at the Teatro Verdi, once again warm applause for the undissolvable binomial “realist”

Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci

At the podium of the Orchestra Filarmonia Veneta “G.F. Malipiero”, Giampaolo Maria Bisanti descended to “delays” of tradition, and in some moments didn’t renounce the instrumental emphasis. He did, but with good taste, without falling into the rhetoric of low profile and without losing view of the occurences the softened dynamics, the gradations, the legato. He obtained, in other words, a balance between incandescence and lyricism.

The Concert
Nocentini and the ORT (Tuscan Regional Orchestra)
Neapolitan Serenades Between Applause and Curtain Calls
Ready, effective, even if a bit uniform, the ORT was conducted by Giampaolo Bisanti: a young Milanese director, who was among other things, trained at the courses of the Chigiana in Siena held by the late lamented Ahronovich; we already appreciated him in Siena for his musical talent, the clearness of his ideas and his secure gestures. His giftedness was confirmed on this occasion also, because Bisanti with his interpretation was able to guarantee a stringent coherence, vigor and determined looseness.

Giampaolo Bisanti Concedes an Encore of “Va Pensiero”
Extraordinary “Nabucco” by Verdi at the PalaBassano. Public fascinated by the production. Repeat performance this evening.
Giampaolo Bisanti directed the Veneta Philharmonic Orchestra with precision and competence, leaving free space for the voices, as is strictly necessary in an opera such as this. Under his guidance the success of Nabucco has been full and warm.

Messaggero Vento: Album - 8 August 2004

Participation of the actor Vincenzo Bocciarelli. Great Music for Peace. Medea applauds Stefan Milenkovic and the Sarajevo Orchestra.
The International Orchestra of the martyr city of Sarajevo working well together, prepared in every section and directed with clear and eloquent gestures and with participative and communicative musicality by maestro Giampaolo Maria Bisanti.

Corriere del Teatro - Jan-Feb-Mar 2003
Bassano del Grappa - Teatro Astra
The Barber of Seville
The City Choir of Padova and the good Filarmonia Veneta were under the efficient and resolute guidance of Giampaolo Bisanti, a still young but definitely valuable musician that – step by step – confirms his authoritative personality; attentive investigator of the scoring and with a good directorial wrist, it seems to me he was able to render all of the transparency and the richness of colors of the gaudy Rossinian machine.

Ernesto and Norina, poor but beautiful
Spoleto: in the forthy edition of Don Pasquale, proposed by the Sperimentale at the Teatro Nuovo, the years of pink neorealism are relived
The OTLIS (Orchestra del Teatro Lirico Sperimentale) changes every year a large number of its elements: the formation of this year appeared particularly good, also because it encountered directors capable of spurring it on and of pulling back on the reins, like Giampaolo Bisanti, who in fact loves the strong sensations of rhythms and sonorousness but who also is able to concede pauses at the right moment and above all respects the voices.

Il Tipo - 10 October 2000
The debut this past Saturday; convincing and moving; La Bohème as interpreted by Giampaolo Bisanti
Applause from the public of Bohème confirmed the success of the opera in its Pavian debut. La Bohème directed by Giampaolo Bisanti was rich in moments of pathos that, already present in Puccini’s score, have their culmination at the end of the second act and in the finale of the opera. The arrangement of Bisanti, much applauded director of Handel’s Messiah last spring, was not betrayed, at least by most of the vocal company, as a group at a good level.
