"A performer who plays well and with respect, and with what can only be described as connectiveness. It was really inspiring! You should remember the name YOLANDA LIEPA, and go hear her play!"

"At the time I compared the various recorded performances of the Martin Preludes, YOLANDA LIEPA'S was the one I preferred the most, demonstrating a light crystalline touch, great evenness of rhythm and clarity of articulation."

(Debut album #94)...The Martin Preludes for Solo Piano ...

"YOLANDA LIEPA gives a performance of impulse and impetus with as much differentiation of line as seems possible to achieve. A real performance of it."

"Opus One has cultivated a remarkable pianist for recording purposes, YOLANDA LIEPA. She displays a well-defined sense of beauty of sound."

"The most interesting disc is the first recording of the 1931 Sonata (Frank Martin). The performance is strong enough that one wants to hear pianist YOLANDA LIEPA live, in this or any other repertoire. One doesn't often get "first recordings" of this quality!"

"(first recording #63)...Enrst Levy Sonata #5. YOLANDA LIEPA gave a performance of great verve and technical accomplishment."

"MS LIEPA's pianism is of the highest order, with a limpid tone, and a rich spectrum of colors from which to choose, ... nothing short of miraculous!"

"Throughout the performance, MS LIEPA played assertively and with skill and musical understanding. It was enjoyable to follow as she played with precision and increasing excitement."
