Performances of Viktor Ullmann's Piano Concerto
February Performances in the USA of Viktor Ullmann's Piano Concerto, op. 25
Victor Ullmann (1898 - 1944), the highly respected Jewish Austro-Hungarian composer, who had studied with Schoenberg and Zemlinsky, was deported in 1942 to Theresienstadt camp and two years later was murdered in the concentration camp Auschwitz. He wrote this piano concerto, a rarely performed work - in 1939, shortly after the Nazis marched into his town Prague. I'm honored to bring this symphonic, colorful, unique piece to life with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra and the Bellingham Symphony under the baton of Maestro Yaniv Attar.

Great review of Piano aux Jacobins recital on Diapason Magazine, France
Diapason Magazine review for my recital at the fantastic International Festival Piano aux Jacobins in Toulouse: "The performance of Einav Yarden, rare in France but noted for her recordings, reveals a radically different universe. At the Saint-Pierre-des-Cuisines auditorium, she performs C.P.E. Bach's Rondo and Fantasias with vitality, clarity and style, pages of unbridled inventiveness, full of daring and surprises, in which the shadow of Beethoven is already looming - one sometimes thinks one hears Sonata no. 1 or a concerto cadenza. In J.S. Bach's English Suite no. 2, she displays authority and naturalness in a masterly yet unostentatious manner..." by Bertrand Boissard, 29.9.23
Hailing review of Bach CD on Fanfare Magazine, USA:
"...What I truly love about Yarden’s performances, though, is the way she not only plays the music but inhabits it. The way that she naturally tosses of the abrupt figurations, at first virtuosic and full-bodied, later gentle, even sigh-like—making them feel like real physical gestures, not only musical ones—in C. P. E. Bach’s E♭-Major Fantasia is just delightful. Her playing is palpable..." by Scott Noriega, Fanfare Magazine Nov-Dec issue
