"... considerable musicality and pianism ... She followed with Debussy's Jardins Sous La Pluie in a deftly pointed performance, delicately pedalled with assured control of the difficult inner tremolandi. Very impressive." The Guardian
“... superb technique and tone colour ... warm, poised performance that did not lack spirit or perspective ...” Los Angeles Times
“... clear articulation, bright tone, unequivocal phrasing, colour, and meaningful gradation of dynamics. And one felt at all times that Miss Jacoby's interests were centred on expressivity rather than mere technical accomplishment. Her Mozart was so engaging ... the communicative impulse was apparent in everything she played ...” New York Times
“... considerable vitality and breadth of expression ... Miss Jacoby contributed a massive performance of the Bach-Busoni Chaconne, as inevitable in direction as a river in flood.” Daily Telegraph

Two important new recordings for Ingrid Jacoby

20 January 2012

The 2012 / 2013 concert season includes the release of two important new recordings for Ingrid Jacoby.

Beethoven Piano Concertos No 2 and No 4 were recorded by Ingrid Jacoby in Warsaw with conductor Jacek Kaspszyk and Sinfonia Varsovia and released in late autumn 2012. The first of a 3 CD project, the remaining concertos are due for release in 2013.

Ingrid Jacoby has a love of the core German repertoire, having already recorded solo works of Beethoven . An interesting historical slant is provided by the possibility that her family is directly descended from the pianist, composer, and Prussian nobleman, Prince Louis Ferdinand (1772 – 1806), to whom Beethoven dedicated his Third Piano Concerto.

German romantic repertoire is also at the heart of her new recital disc, including works by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Brahms as well as Beethoven. Another treat in store for 2013.
