“It was a privilege and a treat to hear pianist Geísa Dutra… The artistry displayed in all these pieces (Brazilian and Spanish) also graced the soloist’s extracts from Chopin’s preludes, Op 28 … They drew from her a gorgeous range of expression.”
— Nottingham Evening Post – England
“Dutra reached the total depth of the music, transmitting, thanks to her outstanding technique, a lively and sensitive image of the composition… She documented in an impressive way her creative power and great technical security.”
— Braunschweiger Zeitung – Germany
“Geísa Dutra’s playing reveals her familiarity with and abiding affection for these pieces (Brazilian and Spanish Piano Works). She avoids cluttering the sound with excessive pedal use, and hence she preserves the clarity and delicacy one would expect from a guitarist. When called upon, her interpretation swells with appropriate surges of passion, but she never sacrifices tempo and subtle nuance…beautiful music, sensitively played. Dutra’s program is well thought out, flows nicely and never loses a sense of cohesion and logic.”
— High Performance Review Magazine
“These compositions might well have been written with the hope that someday an artist such as Geisa Dutra would come along to perform them…Her impeccable playing exhibits a flawless technique coupled with an inner passion that she generously shares with the listener… Magnifico.”
— Overton Berry (Jazz Pianist)
