The Brazilian-born pianist Arnaldo Cohen has long had a reputation for astonishing his audiences with the musical authority and blistering virtuosity of his performances. His graceful and unaffected platform manner belies playing of white-hot intensity, intellectual probity, and glittering bravura technique bordering on sheer wizardry.
“He is a big pianist. His sound is splendid and full, and never clattery, even in such barnstorming passages as the coda to this Liszt work (Fantaisie Dramatique sur les Huguenots de Meyerbeer).” New York Times
