CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"FASCINATING INTERPRETER" ... Left an extraordinary strong impression.... The creative imagination of the pianist evoked an atmosphere in which every detail was treated according to the changing moods. The audience experienced an organic development from deepest pain, through a timid awakening of new strengths, to established feeling of confidence; an interpretation which was most intimately obliged to the music and instructions of Beethoven (Sonata op.110). The admiration for the differentiation, in touch became considerably greater in Images Book 11 by Debussy. Her close contact with the keys gave a colorful delicacy, which is rarely encountered even in famous French virtuosos.

"ENTHUSIASTIC IN DARK, RICH COLORS"... gave to the whole piece (Alban Berg Sonata op. 1) an artistic unity in tonal structure, emphasizing the origin of the piece from romantic tradition... The young Israeli pianist absolutely seemed to be in her element in three contemporary Israeli works which cannot be imagined to be played more intensive and colorful... In Chopin's Ballade No4 - uses her great pianistic potential in the organic development for the heightening of the compositional process.
In Mazurkas op. 59 - played in the tradition of Arthur Rubinstein, aimed toward noble, tonal unity.

"FASCINATING CHOPIN"... 'Men there was a sensation: the pianist proved herself to be a Chopin interpreter of the highest quality... she fascinated through brilliant virtuosity as well as through sensuous expression. Fire, passion, delicacy of feeling and elegance joined together in an absolutely ideal interpretation of Chopin.

"MEDALIST TATZ FEATURED AT RECITAL"...is a solid pianist whose best work has honest emotion and strength of tone ... rich, solemn performance of Bach - Busoni Chorale prelude. She has a special affinity for the impulsive, visionary music of Scriabin, as shown by her surging performance of Sonata No. 2.

"Golda Wainberg showed considerable interpretative power and sound and well worked out technique. which convincingly served her musical purpose. Beethoven (Sonata op.28) emerged with persuasive strength and Scriabin (Sonata op. 19) with strong emotional appeal."

"Finally, we met in our Philharmonic Hall Golda Wainberg-Tatz. From the opening sounds, the delicate, attractive and subtle artist seized our attention with her unexpectedly light, uncomplicated, elegant and clear manner of playing. The pianist has developed a good touch, which she uses to enlarge the scope of sound between piano and mezzaforte, mezzaforte and forte, and the forte, shaded in different gradations. The many nuances of colors, harmony, genre painting, unforced pianistic bravura - all of these were at the pianist's center of attention. G. Wainberg achieved the dramatic, dynamic climaxes with ease. She communicated to the orchestra her characteristic piano tone: a mezza voice, "speaking" tone. It is a pity that we could hear only this single opus (Saint Seans' G minor piano concerto) played by Golda Wainberg, which revealed to us just a small part of this attractive, unusual and artistic pianist's character. It will be interesting to hear more performances by this artist, particularly a solo recital.

"Lithuanian born pianist Golda Wainberg -Tatz proved herself an artist of depth and virtuosity Sunday afternoon at Adamant Music School's Waterside Hall. Although she possesses an easy technique, it is her warm touch and unfettered feeling that makes her capable of a real romantic grandeur. Most notable were her performances of music by R. Schumann, particularly in the satisfying "Abegg Variations", op. 1. Wainber-Tatz matched the variety in the variations with genuine expressiveness and warm touch that ranged from delicate to powerful - with never an ugly note ... Wainberg-Tatz gave four Preludes from C. Debussy's Book 11 an unusual warmth and romanticism"...
