He has recorded the complete works of Beethoven, Mozart's piano concertos, the complete variations by Brahms, and the complete Hungarian Rhapsodies and many of the major transcriptions of Liszt. For his Liszt recordings, Campanella received the Grand Prix du Disque of the Franz Liszt Society in Budapest in 1976, 1977 and 1998, as well as the "Premio della critica discografica italiana" in 1980. He also received the Fondazione Premio Napoli and Fondazione Guido e Roberto Cortese awards.

Campanella is professor of piano at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana of Siena. He is also a member of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. He gives annual master classes at the Villa Rufolo in Ravello.
