"What an enterprising programme from the Israeli pianist...great charachterfulness...every sonata seems to spring a surprise... fleet and airy"

GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, UK

"...probing, incisive pianist with a beautiful sound and an impressively transparent touch...If you like Glenn Gould’s Bach, you’ll like Yarden’s... superb voice-leading and a sense of purpose in every note"

WASHINGTON POST, USA

"Yarden displays an inventively intelligent Haydn, full of wit and abundance, with a delicate, varying touch... glowing, adventurous, at times intimately chamber-music-like, at times grand and orchestral"

FONO FORUM MAGAZINE, GERMANY

"Wherever you listen in this recording, you will be richly rewarded"

Performances of Viktor Ullmann's Piano Concerto

February Performances in the USA of Viktor Ullmann's Piano Concerto, op. 25
Victor Ullmann (1898 - 1944), the highly respected Jewish Austro-Hungarian composer, who had studied with Schoenberg and Zemlinsky, was deported in 1942 to Theresienstadt camp and two years later was murdered in the concentration camp Auschwitz. He wrote this piano concerto, a rarely performed work - in 1939, shortly after the Nazis marched into his town Prague. I'm honored to bring this symphonic, colorful, unique piece to life with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra and the Bellingham Symphony under the baton of Maestro Yaniv Attar.

Great review of Piano aux Jacobins recital on Diapason Magazine, France

Diapason Magazine review for my recital at the fantastic International Festival Piano aux Jacobins in Toulouse: "The performance of Einav Yarden, rare in France but noted for her recordings, reveals a radically different universe. At the Saint-Pierre-des-Cuisines auditorium, she performs C.P.E. Bach's Rondo and Fantasias with vitality, clarity and style, pages of unbridled inventiveness, full of daring and surprises, in which the shadow of Beethoven is already looming - one sometimes thinks one hears Sonata no. 1 or a concerto cadenza. In J.S. Bach's English Suite no. 2, she displays authority and naturalness in a masterly yet unostentatious manner..." by Bertrand Boissard, 29.9.23
