Ingrid Fliter

... an exciting technique and keen intelligence animated by an impetuous temperament... a remarkable talent.
The New York Times

Ingrid Fliter's lovely piano recital at the Kennedy Center... provided evidence of an assured and discriminating musical intelligence yoked to a stage personality of unusual warmth and charm... Fliter's clarity of thought and meticulously calibrated dynamic control - she commands a seemingly infinite variety of louds and softs - were immediately apparent. I do hope Fliter returns soon, and to a venue where more people can hear her. She has much to offer us.
Washington Post

Fliter ran through the filigreed patterns of Chopin's ornamental writing as easily as drawing curlicues with a finger in the air. From a backdrop of unassailable technique, she was able to listen and let go with the music.
Fliter had the power to project the music in Blossom's large pavilion without forcing the tone. What's more, she proved herself a sensitive agent of Chopin's style. She played the heart-stoppingly lovely writing in the slow movement in keeping with Chopin's idiomatic quickening and slowing of the lines.
Fliter, 33, plays with a maturity and elegance that suits her well to the Cleveland Orchestra. I hope she'll be back soon.

Between German monuments came Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, to which Fliter applied a spectrum of nuances. The 2006 winner of the Gilmore Artist Award possesses the fluency and tonal gold the piece demands. She brought vibrant temperament to Chopin's moody writing and played the second movement's poetic utterances as if they were sent from heaven.
Cleveland Plain Dealer

Fliter possesses an awesome pianistic technique that is light years ahead of most power pounding competition winners... This extraordinary artist combines musical intelligence with the kind of keyboard mastery of which legends are made... Fliter is a force of nature and an artist of the highest order.

[Ingrid Fliter] made the music sound as though it were being born under her fingers... she balanced her selections neatly between demonstrations of remarkable technique and musical statements of considerable clarity, depth and resonance.
Washington Post

[Ingrid Fliter] seemed to play to her greatest strength, which is her holistic approach to a piece. Her clear articulation of phrases and large-scale formal sections of a piece are signs of a mature artist... By all accounts, Fliter was a wise choice for the 2006 Gilmore Artist.

[This was] one of best the Chopin [performances] ever played by an Argentinean after Martha Argerich. Her version of the Chopin's Concerto No. 2 can be registered among those produced by the most outstanding pianists of the two last generations: Kissin, Demidenko, Maria J. Pires, Kristian Zimmermann or Emanuel Ax

Fliter is very much her own person, with essential sparks of individual imagination that show a fertile mind as well as a phenomenal technique at work... In the second half came a Chopin group that was simply spellbinding. The music seemed to flow from her with an utterly natural lyrical impulse, graced with power, luminous delicacy and a spectrum of tonal coloring that combined to mark her out as one of the most instinctive and eloquent Chopin interpreters playing today.

Fliter appears to be a pianistic force of nature... stay tuned, a wonderful pianist has arrived.
Los Angeles Times

[Fliter] proved a musician of immediate appeal. Her touch on the keyboard, soft and enveloping but with strength, heightened the clarity of her playing. She stretched long lines effortlessly and displayed a properly classical sense of proportion and understated elegance... Judging just from this one performance, she seems as much a thinker and communicator as virtuoso pianist.
Atlanta Journal Constitution

...inspired pianism captured on the wing.
Chicago Tribune

More than anything else it was Fliter's out-sized, vivacious personality that proved so winning. Rarely will one encounter such infectious delight and sheer communicative pleasure in making music as that which the pianist put across Friday night [Miami International Piano Festival].
South Florida Sun-Sentinel

...this glamorous blonde pianist played the Beethoven Concerto No. 1, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic led fluidly by Charles Dutoit, and dared to go beyond dutiful adherence – she proclaimed Beethoven, in marvelously ghostly arpeggios, in an uncommonly searching cadenza, in sforzandos that jumped boldly off the page. A big-time contender.
LA City Beat

Backed by a colossal technique and with a mental attitude allowing her to tackle the most conflict-ridden passages with amazing soundness, Ingrid offered a substantial reading, filled with musicality and life, of one of the most splendorous piano concertos of the Romantic Era [Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2].
La Nación

Her performance radiated the innocent colorful youthfulness which is unique to Debussy's early masterpieces. Her refinement of keyboard touch is extraordinary, her tone always flexible, clear and metallic, her range of colors virtually infinite, and her dynamics subtly shaded... This is all coupled with a unique duality which both encompasses rhythmic tension and flexible interpretation, and the rangy shaping of melody which is always logically articulated. To be concise: we heard a performance where virtuosity did not contradict poetry.
