Barbara Moser was the brilliant soloist, equally outstanding both technically and musically.

Hamburger Abendblatt

 

“Belcanto pianistico” at the Musikverein. Moser’s art of phrasing is an event in itself, preserving even the most luscious melodies from any suspicion of sentimentality.

Pianist Barbara Moser’s execution of the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in B-flat major KV 450 practically lifted the audience from their seats. Her performance was flawless and colorful.

Austrian Pianist Brings Tuneful Vienna to Life. As happens frequently, the best musical bargain in town last weekend was the free concert at the National Gallery Sunday night. Barbara Mosers program was devoted largely to music from Vienna – Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert – and she played with a special sensitivity to the unique lyric qualities of that city’s music.

If you missed Austrian pianist Barbara Moser’s Schubert/Liszt program, you would have to go to Vienna next month to hear her perform it again. She’s well worth the trip.

Evening first-rate. Miss Moser made a major case for Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1, bold in its many bravura passages and finding poetry in reflective moments. For once it seemed as much real music as a technical showcase.

Un prince, trois reines. Barbara Moser s’empare du clavier, accompagnée de Alissa Margulis au violon et Francoise Groben au violoncelle. Ce trio aura pu paraître sexiste… Mendelssohn serait-il homme à femmes? Les sensibilités musicales de ces trois jeunes artistes sont parfaitement accordées et ont eu la chance de se trouver. Les trois femmes ont fait vivre au public des moments d’émotions rares. Et la salle a plus d’une fois retenu son souffle avant de pouvoir exploser en applaudissement et recevoir un bis bien mérité.

The highlight of the evening was pianist Barbara Moser, who brought the house to its feet after her staunch performance of Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Moser played with stamina and seemed to direct the attention on the music rather than on herself, enabling the audience to hear the many layers of the piece as the instruments culminated into harmony.

Her trademark are nobly phrased transitions, sparkling scales and a touch to the piano clear as glass. In the cadenzas Moser showed a wide range of expression from relaxed cheerfulness to elegant bravura.

Barbara Moser’s acclaimed new solo program in Brahms Hall (Wiener Musikverein)

Making the piano sing: It borders on the improbable how this young, charming Viennese artist brings the Bechstein Grand to “sing” with the right breath, transforming it into a wondrous instrument that fulfills every desire for artistic and technical perfection.

Hermann Maier is very fast on skis. Barbara Moser is even faster at the piano. Last week, the exceptional pianist honored the Lower Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra at the Festspielhaus and demonstrated impressively how Chopin’s E minor Piano Concerto ought to be played.

NÖN

 

Within Franz Liszt's rhapsodically designed b-minor sonata Barbara Moser was very much at home. She managed to combine spontaneous sensitivity and control in perfection, garnished with a dash of virtuosity devoid of any eccentricity.

Natalie Dessay’s fulminant concert opening (Vienna Musikverein, Brahms Hall)
What ultimately ennobled the evening was the fact that Natalie Dessay had in Barbara Moser a kindred accompanist at her side: the wealth of color and delicacy this pianist conjured from the instrument—without for a single second neglecting to attune the piano sound sensitively to that of the voice—bordered on the extraordinary. Such “partner luxury” is a rarity in song recitals.

Right – simple – right: Chamber music of the highest order in the Brahms Hall: Barbara Moser with Philharmonic members Günter Voglmayr and Franz Bartolomey in an exquisite trio. The gentlemen and the lady exchanged their musical wit with one another and mastered even the most delicate balancing acts in perfect unity of spirit. This is how chamber music can inspire.
