“Marialy Pacheco plays like no other. Her own compositions are breathtaking, she can twist old Standards in a new way and the classical world is also familiar to her. Great art, unique style and a magical performance - overpowering piano sound, perfectly produced on a Bösendorfer Imperial”

- Hifi-Stars Magazine – (03/16 – Janis Obodda) -

“Surely one of the finest piano works I have ever heard. With Marialy Pacheco the dream of every piano music lover comes true”!

- LP-Magazin für analoge Hifi - und Vinyl Kultur - (02/2016 – Ralf Henke) -

When you meet Marialy and you stand right in front of her, a balance of profound spirituality, joy, clarity, strong identity, but also fragile moments spread easily and unconditionally...
All this is reflected in Marialy's way of playing - a tree, which roots are deeply anchored in the tradition of Cuba, but the branches have found place anywhere in the world…
These images are comprehensible to everyone who listens to Marialy's playing. No matter if she performs J.S. Bach, contemporary jazz or latin music. She is able to merge all styles into her own sound - the result is always unique and distinctive.”

- RHANI KRIJA, Percussionist STING -

(…) "Her performance was exquisite, with multiple voices cleanly projected, a lightness of touch, a buoyant energy in the dance movements, nothing was exaggerated at all, it was pure Bach.
She reminds me of the best Bach pianists. The dance lives when she plays Bach. Marialy brought a joy and beauty to the music that strictly classical pianists rarely achieve. She has an innate understanding of where this music comes from, this is part of her living tradition" (…)

- RICHARD WENN, Manager Director Queensland Symphony Orchestra -

WHAT THE PUBLIC SAYS

• "That was music from another universe! You three were absolutely brilliant and fun and playing your hearts out with rhythms never heard before. Your listening and soloing set a new bar in the music world. Those lucky enough to have been there will never forget last night. We will treasure the experience forever” 

• “Seeing you play was the calm after that rain storm! I’m glad that you were able to play! 

• "We have been enjoying her music since about Tokyo Call (2012 album), and it just gets better and better. Marialy easily made my shortlist of Piano Superheroes who I never would’ve expected to see live. Usually busy winning awards at international jazz festivals or performing her work in concert halls with European orchestras, it is incredibly special that maybe 100 of us in Seattle got to have her come and play just for us. You guys, this concert was sensational... "she plays with the blood"! Any of you piano, Latin jazz, or just good music fans simply must go if you are in Philadelphia, Boston, Minneapolis, New York or Detroit in the coming days. I suspect it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see a pianist of her caliber in such an intimate venue and join just a handful of people in greeting and thanking her afterward. I don’t think we’ll be able to keep her a secret anymore; and next time she visits, it may be to play with the Seattle Symphony in Benaroya Hall!” 

• "What a privilege to have Marialy in Philly - Gracias Mari!!” 

• "We saw a star that will shine for many many years..Marialy is not only an unbelievable talent but her entire on-stage personality is unlike any I've ever seen. Her anecdotes and warmth and humor and information about the piano she was using went far beyond just performance. We were so impressed ..."

• "September was one of my favorite pieces ever hearing live..I was so taken aback, I love the way you play with such feeling. It's hard to believe you wrote that at such a young age. I'm very inspired by you!"

• “It was a pleasure to having the talented and beautiful Marialy Pacheco at City Winery tonight. Enjoyed every minute of it!"
