CD ReviewsIn response... George | Greenville, SC | 07/20/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'd have to say that, being from a younger, more receptive generation, my opinion of Ms. Kern is that of great regard. Having audited masterclasses and been to concerts, seeing her interact on the personal and professional level, it is easy to see that Ms. Kern's ability to project and produce in her abilities are much greater (and evidently more taken for granted) than other reviews would like to give her credit. Bravissima, Ms. Kern." Winner playing with fire Douglas R. Mcgrath | 12/20/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "A sensational pianist at the beginning of what will clearly be an important career.Lots of fire and real musicianship." Fantastic--See her, buy the album! Douglas R. Mcgrath | San Francisco, CA, USA | 01/15/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was entralled with Olga Kern's performance when I saw her in San Jose several years ago. I was also incredibly lucky to be one of the students for her masterclass the following evening. To be honest, I wasn't that familiar with a number of the pieces she played in her recital, but I thought they were nothing short of amazing. She is a powerhouse, and my personal experience with her showed her to be a wonderfully kind, patient, and very witty person with simply phenomenal musicianship. Highly, highly recommended."
