His playing has been described as “pristine” and “passionate” by the Washington Post, and “polished” and “exemplary” by the Fanfare magazine. He was a prize winner at the International Beethoven Sonata Piano Competition in Memphis, Tennessee in 2001.
Cremaschi has recorded music by Carlos Guastavino, Alberto Ginastera, Luis Gianneo, Luis Jorge González and other Argentine composers as a soloist and chamber pianist for the labels IRCO, Ostinato, Marco Polo and Meridian Records. His edition and recording of Alberto Ginastera’s Doce Preludios Americanos for piano was published by Carl Fischer in 2016, and superseded the original 1946 original edition of this work.
