An impressive debut… If Robert Schumann were reviewing it in
his Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik, he might aptly remark, "Hats off,
gentlemen!" Vainberg-Tatz plays his music superbly, with flair, insight,
imagination and fervor that bring it to Schumanesque life in all its
dimensions. Her technique is first-rate, producing a kaleidoscope of piano
sounds, from intimate warmth to bold elation as the music demands… She
shifts moods convincingly, the tempos are well chosen, and her rhythms are
taut and exact… her judicious use of pedal, which gives her sound a luminous
clarity. |

"Powerful performance of Cezar Franck's monumental Prelude
Choral and Fugue. She achieved clarity through a successful voicing with
different touch quality or sound for each musical line. In Bach D major
Toccata Fantasia and Fugue - her finger virtuosity was all there, she
managed an attractive fussion of the piano's lyrical abilities and the
harpsichord staccato articulation". |

"Vainberg-Tatz has a way with Schumann, emphasizing its
lyricism with great swashes of color (Schumann Sonata op.11)… A deft and
expressive reading of Liszt arrangement of Chopin's Souhait de jeune fille." |

"G. Vainberg-Tatz is not only a sensitive partner. She is an
excellent pianist, who gives an artistic freedom to the partner, as well
immediately follows with wonderful sound, her partner's musical thought… The
Ravel Sonata impressed with French finesse and impressionist sound quality,
Mendelsohn - with the striking virtuosity". |

"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 II 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 No 4 -- uses her great pianistic potential in the organic
development for the hightening of the compositional process. In Mazurkas op.
59 - played in the tradition of Arthur Rubinstein, aimed toward noble, tonal
unity. |

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

"Well Calculated Piano Drama"… she is a technically full -
fletched musician with a strong temperament and good judgment… Highly
commendable played Schumann's big and demanding Humoresque. |

"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 No2. |

"Finally we met in our Philharmonic Hall Golda Vainberg-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, and unforced pianistic bravura - all of
these were at the pianist's center of attention. G. Vainberg 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 Saens G minor piano
concerto) played by Golda Vainberg, 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. |

" The pianist embodied the elegance and graciousness of the
Saint Saens Second Concerto, her clear passages runs, finger dexterity,
powerful rhythm and personal pathos, - all excellently represented the
French virtuosic music school…. It was a beautiful duet between the piano
and the orchestra in the gracious Scherzo… With great enjoyment we listened
the young pianist's long double notes passages, the fireworks of the 3rd
movement Tarantella, the clean pedaling, beautiful singing piano, bells
-like ringing forte… |

"Golda Vainberg 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." |

"Lithuanian born pianist Golda Vainberg-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 Schumann,
particularly in the satisfying "Abegg Variations". She matched the variety
in the variations with genuine expressiveness and warm touch that ranged
from delicate to powerful - with never an ugly note." |

her Lithuanian and Israeli roots… She favored the grand romantic sweep… An
illuminating and moving performance." |
