Reviews
“Gabriela Montero is strong by herself… Liszt’s first Mephisto Waltz is not performed in an athletic way, but rather questioned in a very musical manner, technically brilliant… Friedrich Gulda would have been delighted by her demonstrative nonconformity. With Gabriela Montero, that is for sure, you can experience small miracles.”
Die Zeit, October 2005
“At 35, she is already a seasoned perfomer who can count the likes of Argerich, Béroff and Vásáry among her most ardent fans. On the evidence of this live recording it beggars belief that this is her first solo album… it’s what happens between the notes, the way she grippingly characterises everything she plays, that constantly arrests the listener’s attention. Not since George Cziffra’s hey-day have such white-hot, volcanic eruptions of pianistic derring-do been captured on disc.”
