Editorial Reviews
(Classic CD MAGAZINE - October, 1998)
"The mastery of technique is practically untouchable. Despite the fact that in a whole, virtuosity is not the main objective, there are moments when it is applied for the music sake...The cheap effects are abandoned in search of a higher communion with musicality...The universe of sounds seems to echo the landscapes of Palma de Mallorca, filled with unrestrained sadness. In certain moments Chopin sounds as if in tender despair.This is the distinctive characteristics of these interpretations, especially on the slower pieces, where the pianist finds the necessary balance. The reading of Prelude nr.2 deserves special mentioning ...the painful nr.6, which its simplicity makes it even more sublime, the optimistic nr.9, with its ascending design, or nr.20, with an emotional universe contained in just a few measures...you will not regret having this record in your discotheque. A performance rich in nuances.

From the Artist

The only thing more wonderful than listening to this recording of Chopin's music is to hear it in person as played by this remarkable pianist. Geisa's true skill and deep passion while playing is an inspiration to any musician, and a delight to her audience. She brings us the miracle of translating silent notes on paper into sound wich moves the soul. I was thrilled to have found this album on the website. Thank you, Geisa, for your many gifts to the world and to me.
