PRESS/MEDIA

"The beauty of Mara Dobresco's playing immediately captivates with a highly refined approach, an ideally supple touch, and a dreamlike tone... striking a perfect balance between the whimsical fervor of Argerich and the depth of Arrau."

CLASSICA

"With expert hands and a spirit burning with devotion, freeing a powerful feminine and mystical nature—close to witchcraft?—her playing reveals a singular resonance, between drops of water, dry silences, echoes, and the extraordinary effect of the piano sounding like a carillon like never before..."

ANACLASE

"... 1001 shades of the night… Romanian pianist Mara Dobresco creates one of her most personal programs in a journey full of nocturnal scintillations. A tribute to the intimate dream of the night, each piece here, carefully chosen and seamlessly linked, always tells the secret eloquence of a suspended time, a call to dream, to enchantment, but also to a whispered, inner listening: under her enchanting fingers, the keyboard becomes a poetic vertigo, an elastic time, colors of the invisible: it is an act of faith, a secret garden, and an aesthetic that commands admiration through the deliberate exposure of the piano’s nuances, pianissimo."

ANACLASE

"The two Beethoven sonatas (the 14th, known as Moonlight, and especially the 31st, Op. 110) suddenly took this evening into another dimension, halfway between the magic of the moment and the supernatural. Where time stands still, where contemplation becomes enchantment, where the stains of everyday life vanish and transform into vibrations of the soul."

 

André Soleau / LA ROQUE D'ANTHERON

"Mara Dobresco : A Poetess of the Piano...

After a poetic entry into the concert with Debussy’s Pour le piano, the Franco-Romanian artist gradually builds the tension note by note, in a blend of firmness and delicacy.

"Humanity and its suffering"—this is one of the key themes of her artistic commitment.

Her playing avoids excess and unnecessary flourishes, focusing instead on the artist’s struggle against the raw material of things.

This results in a recital that is open both in body and heart, culminating in two encores dedicated to Romanian music."

"LE FRUIT DU SILENCE" IN THE PRESS

IMG-20220831-WA0000.jpg

"La pianiste franco-roumaine s’impose d’emblée par une interprétation qui ne doit rien à l’époque. Sa version de la Sonate nr.30 de Beethoven avive les contrastes sans escamoter les états intermédiaires de l’expression . Même performance enchanteresse pour la nr.31… Deux chefs-d’œuvre d’intériorité explosive."

Le Monde, Pierre Gervasoni 



 

"Le Fruit du Silence" strikes the right and true note.
Silence is, indeed, spirit... Undoubtedly, Mara Dobresco understands this very well. This was the condition for the masterful interpretation that caught the ear, both sober and profound, without the unnecessary brilliance often heard in Beethoven.
... a "world" of silence, or silence as a world, a resonant origin that is not from our common world… This is what we hear in these Beethoven sonatas as well as in the pieces presented on this stunning album."


Muzibao, André Hirt


"Mara Dobresco mène un voyage contemplatif à travers les op.109 et op.110 de Beethoven …un récit intime conduit ces épopées spirituelles . Les interprétations des trois œuvres contemporaines révèlent un jeu scintillant , d’une grande inventivité. De l’univers jaillissant de Strasnoy, aux couleurs éphémères d’Hersant, en passant pas la douceur de Vasks, la pianiste nous rappelle que le silence en dit long."


Revue Pianiste, Melissa Khong

Interview Mara Dobresco :

"SOLEIL DE NUIT" IN THE PRESS

"Always attentive to rigor, balance, and elegance, Mara Dobresco delivers a performance perfectly suited to the nocturnal and mysterious atmospheres."

DIAPASON


"Soleils de Nuit" redefines the (vast) space of the allusive fields that the piano can evoke; it also shapes a new way of experiencing music : a journey that unfolds through introspection and inner life. The open door reveals an unexplored continent, one that, within the gap it creates, retains all its mystery. Masterful !
