REVIEWS

Recital different from others
"a very interesting 'La Danseuse mondaine' by Joachim Turina played with obvious pianistic skill elicited a warm applause …. the 'Tango Americain' by J.A. Carpenter was also rightly received enthusiastically."

Highest Marks
"the pianists’ favourite Sonata in Es from Haydn … a well thought-out interpretation, beautifully transparent and playful when necessary, expressive when necessary. Highest marks! The pianist felt herself completely at home in 'El Amor Brujo' by De Falla. The various pieces were performed with exactly the right intentions."

Piano recital of Patricia Verhagen
with compositions of Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Granados, Albeniz, Turina and de Falla: "impressionist and demanding music .., overwhelming and yet performed in all modesty ... impressive recital."

Duo Bergman-Verhagen
"Sounding homogeneity ... Patricia Verhagen’s performance excelled in a flexible toucher that matched the intimacy of the hall ? equally sublime level ... very musical vision on the score... splendid performance."

Kegelstatt Trio
"Excellent pianist ... Precise and sparkling playing ... seldom did I hear Schumann’s ‘Märchenerzählungen’ opus 132 with such sublime musical colouring."
