"A captivating presence on the concert scene is pianist Yael Weiss, hailed by today's greatest musicians and critics for visionary interpretations of surpassing depth, immediacy and communicative power. Following a recent recital, the Washington Post portrayed her as "a pianist who delves deeply and tellingly into that cloudy area where fantasy morphs into improvisation, inventiveness being common to both." Ms. Weiss is known for an unusually wide range of concert repertoire, reflecting an eclectic musical taste encompassing music from the beloved classics to newly commissioned works. Throughout her explorations, the music of Schumann has provided a continuing source of nourishment and inspiration, hence the choice of repertoire for this recording. A companion CD to this (Koch #????) offers another facet of Yael Weiss's artistry: works from over a dozen composers, spanning three centuries and united by the theme of Joy.
Ms. Weiss has performed across the United States, Europe, Japan and South America at such venues as the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall and London's Wigmore Hall. Her New York recital debut, presented by the Metropolitan Museum, was acclaimed by the New York Times as, "remarkably powerful and intense . . . fine technique and musicianship in the service of an arresting array of music." A frequent soloist with major orchestras, Ms. Weiss has appeared with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Chautauqua Festival Orchestra, Prague Chamber Orchestra, Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra, Augusta Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony and the Brazil National Symphony, among others.

Ms. Weiss is also devoted to chamber music, and tours worldwide with her piano trio, Sequenza. She is a regular favorite at international music festivals including the Marlboro Music Festival, Ravinia Festival, Seattle Chamber Music Festival, City of London Fesival, Banff Keyboard Festival and Caramoor Festival, and served as Artistic Director of the Hersher Foundation Chamber Music Series in Connecticut. Weiss has been honored with distinguished prizes from the Naumburg International Piano Competition and the Kosciusko Foundation Chopin Piano Competition, and was a recipient of the Presser Award as well as grants from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.

Yael Weiss was born in Israel and came to the US to pursue her studies with Leon Fleisher at the Peabody Conservatory, and with Richard Goode and Edward Aldwell at the Mannes College of Music. She makes her home in New York City and Bloomington, Indiana."
