“Pianist Natasha Marin, whose impressive pianism had the audience at the edge of their seats at an SCO chamber concert last month, was guest soloist in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.5”
“Marin’s muscular, golden tone and her handling of the first movement’s cadenza were breathtaking. Managing to balance pianistic flair with musical intelligence, Marin’s playing of the cadenza was at once a dazzling showstopper. After the work came to its close, the audience leaped to its feet in a much-deserved standing ovation.”
Natasha Marin performed solo and chamber program with Yi-Huan Zhao, violin, and Beth Park-Zhao, cello, in Pasadena, CA
The critic noted: ” Natasha Marin’s powerful rendition of Chopin’s Scherzo No. 1 nearly pinned the audience to their seats. Brilliant cascades of octaves held the audience captive” and called her accompaniment “superb, providing a gentle backdrop to Zhao’s pastoral rhapsodizing.”
