Johann Sebastian Bach, Gabriela Montero, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Sublime
This is compositional improvisation at the highest possible level - stunning - with everything that music is or is supposed to have: the highs, the lows, the emotions, the amazingly transparent technical ability. Not only is she a brilliant performer of such composers ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Non-professional Review
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 ...

Gautier Capuçon, Jorge Bosso, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

Lots of Schumann, not much Argerich, plus some real oddities
EMI has gotten into the pleasanat habit of issuing a 3-CD bargain box of Martha Argerich's summer music from Lugano, and they are caviar for chamber music lovers, mixing familiar and unfamiliar works in sterling live performances. It's hard to think of any comparable ...

Others may have used Bach's music as a starting point for improvisation - take Keith ...

The World's Best Chopin Interpreter?
Gabriela Montero is the best Chopin player I have ever heard. She even surpasses the great pianist Leif Ove Andsnes which is especially evident in the slow passages. Chopin might have played just like this!
