FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 10/06/2008
The Greenville College Music Department is proud to present Teresa Walters; praised by
Austrian National Televisionas “that rare musical phenomenon” and “one of the world’s most significant pianists.” The New York Times reviews her performance saying, “There was much to admire: The crashing octave runs were all right on the mark. Not a note was smudged in the pages of intricate passagework, and her conception had all the requisite sweep, power, and warm sonority.” Her much anticipated recital will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday the 16th of October at Whitlock Music Center in the James Wilson Recital Hall. The concert is offered at no cost to the public and all are invited to attend.
The
mesmerizing performances by TERESA WALTERS on today's international
concert stages inspire unanimous praise. Her biography could be written
from the headlines alone: "Teresa Walters Plays Piano on Grand Scale" (The Cincinnati Inquirer); "Her Hands Create Cascades of Luminescence" (The
Washington Post); "A Liszt of Very Fine Performances" (The Budapest Sun); "Concert Extraordinaire" (Bucharest
Stagiunea); "Bright Shining Star in Recital" (El Norte, Mexico); "Teresa Walters Holds Keys to Audience's Hearts"
(The Record).
In recent years, she has performed as recitalist and orchestral soloist
on six continents and in most of the 50 United States at venues
including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, Wigmore Hall in
London, the Salle Cortot in Paris, Moscow's Great Hall, Australia's
International Conservatorium and Jerusalam's Concert Hall. With her
vast repertoire, she has also performed at Vienna's Beethoven Festival
and at Spanish Music festivals in Barcelona and Madrid. Her recent
Lincoln Center recital in New York earned a standing ovation from a
capacity crowd. She is the first American pianist invited by Hungary to
present the Anniversary Concert in honor of Liszt's birthday.
Prestigious invitations to perform at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music
and the Liszt Museum in Budapest as well as at Liszt's Birthplace in
Raiding and at Esterhazy Palace under the patronage of Prince Anton
Esterhazy attest to her growing reputation as one of the finest
interpreters of Liszt performing and recording today. In fact, the
American Record Guide has announced: "Her competition is virtually nil."
Teresa Walters is noted for her commitment to music as the ultimate
universal language, and for her vision of music as ministry. She is
equally at home in the world's major concert halls or in campus and
community settings. In addition to maintaining an extensive
international touring schedule, she is recording a series of releases
for Archangelus Records featuring the sacred piano works of Liszt. The
first two albums of the Abbé Liszt Series have been nominated for the
Grand Prix du Disque of the Hungarian Liszt Society.
