"Undoubtedly a very successful operation, drawing some famous tracks, never rearranged in this guise before, and proposing them through a brand new identity that emerges completely."

"
The Harry Potter theme gives Marciano an outlet for her high-pitched flutter tonguing, but it's the Hermann material that is outstanding. Herrmann's carefully timed but sometimes overwrought romanticism is perfectly matched by Marciano's internalized Mediterranean passion.

"I recommend Psychosis to anyone who loves the music of Bernard Herrmann or who wants to hear jazz that’s modern, hip, and edgy."

"This is a truly superb recording that fuses together the genius of Hermann with the intensity, vision and jazz sensibility of a superb saxophone player and her trio, to form a striking "tour de force" of musical panoramas, that can easily stand alone as a fine jazz album in its own right as well as a fresh and compelling reprise of Herrmann's great scores."

"This tribute to the music of the great film composer who died in 1975 loops on my turntable ... The way in which this remarkable Italian saxophonist native of Salerno appropriates them via her burning viola is the best way to bring them back to life. Carla Marciano takes us, transports us to “Joncoltanian” lands, but without being satisfied with playing each theme on the sly and then unrolling her solos. Because his arrangements are as inventive as his improvisation."

"This Marciano has the same kind of musical power that Rocky Marciano had with the big difference that she knew when to back pedal and dance like Alì. Put the two together and you have an unbeatable combination whether in the ring or in the recording studio.Yes, Marciano has both power and pathos in her playing.
Quite an amazing album"

" I am captivated by the Marciano arrangements and her extraordinarily strong abilities on the saxophone. She plays with such determination, excitement and tenacious abilities that it's hard to imagine this is a female player. She is so strong! This is an album you will listen to over and over again, with pure surprise and pleasure."

I was impressed by Marciano and her Quartet's capture of the dramatic aspects of Herrmann's musical themes ... An outstanding recording.

"There'll be a moment when you think you know where you're going, and you'll hear a few notes and get ready for the reveal and just like that you're somewhere you didn't expect to be. Does that sound exciting? It is, very much so."

"A saxophonist with a strong personality and of undoubted value, with "Psychosis" Marciano has authored a piece of magmatic and circular music, which should belong in the category of classical aesthetics"
