2. JUANA ZAYAS: CHOPIN ETUDES FOR PIANO, Op. 10 & 25: Music & Arts CD-891 CHOPIN ETUDES FOR PIANO, Op. 10 25 "In 1983 the CubanAmerican pianist juana zayas produced one of the few truly great recordings of the cycle of Chopin etudes. http://www.musicandarts.com/CD891d.html

CD-891(1) Add to Shopping Cart "In 1983 the Cuban-American pianist Juana Zayas produced one of the few truly great recordings of the cycle [of Chopin etudes]. She lavishes on all 24 pieces a quite fabulous amalgam of lyricism, wit, drama and sheer pianistic craft, full of subtle and imaginative detail, lustrous tone and impeccable technique. Moreover, she conveys a warm-hearted exuberance as she sweeps through the set, setting forth one Etude after another in ideal fashion, never allowing interest to sag. This is piano playing, and more importantly, Chopin playing, on the highest level." International Piano Quarterly : Summer 1999: Donald Manildi "Style, sensitivity, a big technique and an aristocratic flair for the mixture of romanticism and classicism embedded in the music; an extraordinary pianist with a fertile mind and a personal kind of romanticism that can drive Chopin fans mad with ecstasy." Harold C. Schonberg in The New York Times "Why is it that record collectors, however experienced, can still allow landmark recordings to go unheard? She has all the technique necessary, but she is not tempted to vulgar displays of ego. Her performance, for lack of any finer-tuned term, must be called symphonic, a genuine symphonic Chopin of the kind that Petri or Busoni might have supplied. In fact, the comparison that springs to mind most frequently is that Zayas plays Chopin with the same commanding sweep that Petri invested in the music of Liszt. Higher praise is hard to imagine. A fellow collector tells me that these etudes have been recorded some 83 times. All things considered, however, there is no finer version than this one. Music & Arts deserves our gratitude."

Peggy Rockefeller Concerts The Rockefeller University Wednesday, 14 April 1999 Juana Zayas piano Program Photo credit: Christian Steiner Juana Zayas is a relatively unheralded Cuban pianist of dazzling talent whose performances, especially of Chopin, never fail to impress those lucky enough to be present. "Zayas is a fine example of what is called a natural virtuoso.... She merely buries her head in the music and, aided by deft fingers, reveals its richness" ( The Los Angeles Times Last updated: 29 July 1998 URL: http://www.rockefeller.edu/pubinfo/zayas.html Comments: prc@rockvax.rockefeller.edu

5. Juana Zayas - The Artist pianist juana zayas is unknown in these parts, and in her concert for the ChamberMusic Society the question that immediately came to mind is, why? http://www.eroica.com/jz-reviews.html

Jeremy Siepmann, BBC Music Magazine Direct: " Collection: Juana Zayas in Recital Works by Bach/Busoni, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt and Debussy Among the many strengths of these performances is Zayas's finely honed sensitivity to the effect of context upon content, her continuous awareness of cause and effect. Not for her the carbon-copy approach to repeated material that mars so many otherwise impressive interpretations. This is truly organic playing, in which everything is interrelated and a powerful sense of structure is conveyed without any sacrifice of expressive detail. Witness her artful variation of phrasing and emphasis in the two Chopin sonatas, where repetition is such a vital part of the drama. Some, though, may criticize her tendency to desynchronize the hands. This is no casual mannerism, however, but an acute response to the immediate balance of melody, harmony and texture. Nor would it be right to suggest that she is excessively self-conscious or idiosyncratic. Yes, there are individual touches, as in all players of the highest caliber, but what we have here is an admirable blend of intuitive response and thoughtful fidelity to the text. Zayas is not a player who blindly follows the score in an attitude of knee-jerk humility, but rather one who has self-evidently pondered the meaning behind the markings.

ARTICLES AND REVIEWS Seaford Music Ray Tuttle reviews two recordings of major pianistic talent from the American label (see special offers and promotions CHOPIN: Preludes (complete); Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise; Barcarolle Juana Zayas (piano) [DDD] (67:06 - GB pounds 13.50) Like Jorge Bolet, Juana Zayas was born in Cuba and is a thrilling exponent of Chopin's Preludes. However, while Bolet is a household name (in households that love classical music, that is), mention Juana Zayas to all but a handful of people and you are likely to get not a glimmer of recognition. There's something very satisfying about knowing a secret, and with this kind of secret, it's even more satisfying to share the secret with someone else. So let me do so: this recording of Chopin's piano music is one of the finest available, and Juana Zayas's talent makes her eligible to be mentioned in the same breath as Martha Argerich, as well as Jorge Bolet. Why isn't she better known? As a child, she studied with her mother, and then in Havana's
