Jay Gottlieb is one of those rare musicians a
composer has in mind when he writes his music.
He is deeply committed to new music and equally
knowledgeable in the field of older music. He
plays the piano beautifully. "

Jay Gottlieb, an admirable artist... An unforgettable
interpretation. "

"
Jay Gottlieb: a magician of sparks, of blazes, who
conjures for us the night of the Americas, the engravings
of Goya, who renders justice to Fauré by
giving him a virile and vital sound, who clutches
Ariadne's thread from the labyrinth of Ives. Listen
to him. Before long he will be among the comets
that one does not see often enough, and from too
far for the liking of those who discovered him and
love him. "

"
I was really delighted with the recital that Jay
Gottlieb gave at La Roque d'Anthéron this
summer. It is events of this quality that give our
festival its reputation. "

Martin,
Director, International Piano Festival of La Roque

" Jay
Gottlieb's considerable cultural and musical refinement
give him noble and solid footing as a pianist. One
can only marvel at the plenitude of the sound and
the ease of the dynamism that are his...He plays
with a fluidity and a sense of sonic space which
give way to incantation, where one feels progressively
spellbound...Observing him, I was able to detect
and appreciate the very natural contact of his hands
with the keys, deploying the wonderful Lisztian
'retropulsive energy' that he is one of the rare
pianists today to have assimilated. I therefore
congratulate him on having accomplished the amalgamation
of music and gesture in a beautiful unity. "

Author of "Lisztian Keyboard Energy" |
