        Review posted by: Katherine Buss from Berkeley, CA, Mar 05, 2007

        Pola Baytelman's playing was stunningly beautiful, thrilling, her rhythms strong and incisive, her nuance tender and exquisite. Ms. Baytelman is truly an artist of the highest order.

        Faithful style, solid technique without buckeye movements around. If you had enough “piano acrobats” concerts except stunned for fast tempo and loud sound without any touching to your heart,... Expand

        Faithful style, solid technique without buckeye movements around. If you had enough “piano acrobats” concerts except stunned for fast tempo and loud sound without any touching to your heart, This is the recital for you to enjoy the music and get to sing the melody on your way home…….

        Sandra Wright Shen is a pianist who, in the words of André Michel Schub, "Should be heard by large audiences everywhere." Her spellbinding technical command is only a part of the picture. What leaves her audiences awestruck, as I have repeatedly witnessed, is her rare ability to communicate with disarming poetic originality and imagination. She is an absolutely stunning pianist in every way...she captures the hearts of her hearers—and they eagerly return to hear her again! Collapse

        I think that Ms. Shen has great musical sensibility and a delightfully singing touch. Her understanding of how to express emotions in music is remarkable. What an arresting performer!
