Ljuba Moiz is an extremely
talented young pianist and she is intensely dedicated to the performance
of 20th century music that she cultivates on the highest level. She has
a wide repertory and deserves full attention and recognition for
her outstanding achievements. I listened to an excellent CD: I found the
mood and athmosphere very inspired and convincing. So were the
Debussy and Bartok Pieces. I can recommend Ljuba Moiz with no
reservation whatsoever and with the hope that she can prove herself
successfully.
György Sándor
“Her playing is beautiful and
full of imagination, like her paintings”….
György Kurtág
"I enjoyed so much listening to
her CD: I found it really beautifully played"
Murray Perahia
“The programming of her recitals
already can prove that Ljuba Moiz is a pianist with a very personal
musical identity. Her creative approach makes her curious about
everything which is going on in the art of our time, while, thanks
to her feeling for the breakthroughs of tradition, she can find the
right links with the past, with the origin of music.
She performed the works of Ton de
Leeuw and Ton Bruynel recorded in tiis CD at the “Festival Nederlandse
Pianomuziek” in a way that would be certainly appreciated by the
composers with whom I have been working a lot.
In composing the programmes for
her recitals, Ljuba Moiz is creative and original. We can still expect
interesting developments from her!"
