Little-known piano superstarMay 03, 2008 Gabriela Montero is much more than a first-rate piano "technician." Her style brings out the subtle musical and lyrical qualities of complex classical compositions so that they can be appreciated by all levels of music lovers. You will want to listen to this album over and over.
A New Favorite in Your Music LibraryFeb 24, 2008 Gabriela Montero's CD Piano Recital will hold a favorite place in your musical recording collection. It has a balanced mix of compositions by major composers and Montero's improvisations. Her phrasing sings and her technique is brillliante. She plays with a felicitous touch; there's no banging on the keys, but she knows where the bottom is and can float delicately across the top, too. The recording engineers may have compressed the dynamic range, somewhat, between pianissimo and fortissimo. IMHO, the repertoire on this CD is far better than the new Bach and Beyond CD.

Non-professional ReviewMar 27, 2007 Okay, I listen almost exclusively to classical music, but I do so simply for the pleasure and nothing more. I cannot tell you about Gabriela Montero's technique, and, when she improvises, I have no ability to judge the music's intrinsic value, authenticity, or whatever. I can only tell you this: while I own many dozens of albums, running the full spectrum of the classical genre, I value none of them above Montero's Bach and Beyond and her Piano Recital. Pure listening joy!

Absolutely Magnificent!Mar 08, 2007 I first saw Gabriela Montero on 60 Minutes a few months ago and was taken by her playing ability as well as her ability to improvise on the classics. Ms. Montero's fingers fly over the keyboard, playing Rachmaninoff more dramatically and key-perfect than I've heard in a long time. I decided to purchase this CD and have not been disappointed.
