With respect to the 24 Chopin Études
by Miriam Ramos, they are remarkables,
some
are
magnificent – I congratulate her! This is a recording
which needs to be better
known.
Alicia de
Larrocha
The
Études are very well done! Some are magnificent!
Pianists tend to play then
very
fast, but
not in your case. You brought out the aspect of musical
expression which
this
great work
contains.
Dominique
Merlet
...
she subordinates every
thing to an incessant
musical rigor,
presenting ideas
thoughts
from an
appropriate viewpoint inherent in the works,
without thereby
sacrificing
herown
individual conception, the expressive poetic content of
these études is
conveyed
in a
brilliant and intensely musical
manner.
Carlos Dantas – Rio de
Janeiro
It´s an
excellent job, exuberant technique. It´s a work
that only a few privileged
pianists
could
perform. Great musicality. I was very
impressed.
Miguel
Proença
Miriam
is a virtuose who, having mastered all the
difficulties that appeared during
her
journey
through this musical microcosm, succeeds
in overcoming
them, highlighting
the pure
music emanating from them. Her reading is
solidly based, studied in its
smal-
lest
details, without gratuitous effects,
in perfect harmony with the
composer´s
inten-
tions. She
transforms each étude into a special
moment, bringing out its
outstanding
characteristics, without neglecting those
which usually go unnoticed. Each phrase,
each
cell is
delicately treated, analysed, understood. Listen,
for example, to numbers 4,
10
and 12
(Revolutionary) of opus 10, or especially numbers 1 and
11 of opus
25.
