Customer Reviews:
Absolutely Fantastic! 
I’ve not heard Gabriela before I listened to this album. It didnt take me more than a single listening to conclude that this is not a usual classical album, nor is it Jazz improvisation…it is something divine..it gives a certain peace of mind, a certain surprise, a certain happiness listening to Gabriela’s improvisations. Simply fantastic! Its only a few hours since I’ve know this great artist and Im a already her fan! Fantastic album! Album’s like these cannot be rated by stars.
Refreshing! 
Gabriela Montero’s Baroque album shows how a young but accomplished and imaginative artist can shed more light on Baroque composers and their music. I was totally astonished. Improvisation with classical music is not new in the sense that this has been done in the jazz idiom. Transcriptions such as Lizt’s are not improvisations but adaptations. Montero’s work for piano, however, is not only new but in doing this she shows courage and determination in what she believes. As well, her improvisations are spontaneous and therefore different from one public concert performance to another. This Venezualan artist adds a South American combined with a jazz flavour to her playing which is irresistable. I learned of Montero through listening to her in a live radio broadcast on a show called Studio Sparks in Ottawa, Canada, CBC Radio, hosted by Eric Friesen.
