"What an enterprising programme from the Israeli pianist...great charachterfulness...every sonata seems to spring a surprise... fleet and airy"

GRAMOPHONE MAGAZINE, UK

"...probing, incisive pianist with a beautiful sound and an impressively transparent touch...If you like Glenn Gould’s Bach, you’ll like Yarden’s... superb voice-leading and a sense of purpose in every note"

WASHINGTON POST, USA

"Yarden displays an inventively intelligent Haydn, full of wit and abundance, with a delicate, varying touch... glowing, adventurous, at times intimately chamber-music-like, at times grand and orchestral"

FONO FORUM MAGAZINE, GERMANY

"Wherever you listen in this recording, you will be richly rewarded"

Fabulous live-concert review from the Memminger Zeitung!

Fabulous new review for live solo recital from the Memminger Zeitung (Germany):
„ …the renowned pianist evoked such overwhelming feelings of joy that tears of deep emotion welled up in some listeners’ eyes. A captivating, first-class piano recital that completely captivated the audience (…) The magnificent pianist performed Franz Schubert’s Impromptu Op. 142 with exquisite brilliance. It was characterized by a wonderful intimacy with an enchanting lyrical quality. A true treat for the ears of the very finest kind. The Chopin Barcarolle… the pianist, displaying masterful magic at the keyboard, played with even greater poetic depth, which not infrequently took on elegiac tones.”
(Horst Hacker, Memmingen Zeitung)

Coming up: Viktor Ullmann's Piano Concerto with the Jerusalem Symphony (Israeli Premiere)

ISRAELI PREMIERE OF THE CONCERTO. Viktor Ullmann, the highly respected Jewish Austro-Hungarian composer, student of Arnold Schoenberg and Alexander Zemlinsky, who was deported in 1942 to Theresienstadt Ghetto and two years later was murdered in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, wrote this piano concerto, a beautiful and rarely performed work - in 1939, as the Nazis marched into his town Prague. I'm honored to bring this brilliant piece to life in the Israel Premiere of the work, along with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and conductor Nir Cohen-Shalit. Dec. 29, 2025, Henry Crown Hall at the Jerusalem Theater.
