The music should be playing soon.

A classical piano prodigy from Venezuela, Gabriela Montero has played with some of the world's most storied orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Philharmonic, and the NDR in Hannover, Germany. Her first performance, at the age of five, led to a concerto debut with the Venezuelan Youth Orchestra Simon Bolivar' just three years later. She was given a scholarship by her nation's government, and went on to study in the United States. Before she reached her teens, she had already gained worldwide recognition and won the Baldwin National Competition and the AMSA Young Artist International Piano Competition. Eventually, Montero would perform at such storied venues as the Lincoln Center, the Herkulessaal in Munich, and Orchard Hall in Tokyo. 2005 saw the release of Montero's debut album, Piano Recital, on EMI Classics. A two disc affair, it contained work by Liszt and Chopin, and a disc containing her own improvisational work. Bach and Beyond followed in 2006, and in 2007 she released the album Baroque. ~ Chris True, Rovi
The original classical composers all improvised. Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin were known to create spontaneous improvisations for listeners. Gabriela Montero is creating her excellent pieces in this creative tradition.

Touches my soul. Such emotion poured into this. Breathtaking
Thanks Pandora. Among jazz pianists (like me), there's a totally unfounded belief that a pianist with conservatory training in the standard piano repertoire cannot improvise worth a hoot, but only play the little dots on the page. (And some classical pianists can't improvise). But Gabriela gives a lie to this pernicious bit of gossip. Beautiful, soul-touching, breathtaking improvisations that one can honor with repeated listenings, and then incorporate in the pianists' own improvisations.
Lovely music. Her arrangements are unique. I like everything she plays.

She has such an amazing talent. I had never heard of her before Pandora - and I'm glad that I was introduced to her music. I have loved everything that I have heard of hers so far. Simply amazing.
