"[Judith Cohen has] all the qualifications for a career—temperament, musical sensitivity, and the ability to project these to an audience."
—Daniel Pollack, Professor of Piano, USC

Judith Cohen topped the Pacific International Piano Competition in 1984; and on this attractive Bartok collection—in which some of his most popular piano music rubs up against less standard fare—she shows herself to be a persuasive advocate for his gentler side...her light, treble-tilted tone and her transparent textures show her chosen repertoire off to good advantage. Her deft swing through the Romanian Folk Dances is especially refreshing."
—Fanfare Magazine

"Ms. Cohen's playing shows a great deal of sensitivity to the variety of colors that are possible on the piano... In her capable hands, the dissonant harmonies of modern music seem to offer new possibilities in tonal coloring... Ms. Cohen's playing was bold, fluid and strong throughout..."
—The Inquirer and Mirror, Nantucket, MA (1989)

"...one of the five best pianists I have heard within the last fifteen years...Miss Cohen is a born virtuoso, has temperament and wonderful professional control—a rare combination nowadays."
—Dr. Bela Nagy, Professor of Piano, Boston University, Catholic University of America

"...Ms. Cohen's playing displays a superb finger technique that is always logical. Her lines have great coherence, proper musical feelilng and a beautiful tonal balance. The Music of this pianist is never distorted for the sake of extra showmanship or personal whim...everything is clear and flawless."
—Richard Faith, Pianists Foundation of America

"Judith Cohen's passion for Bartok was demonstrated with her explosive, ruminating, romantic, and exciting interpretation of the Six Romanian Dances... The audience rewarded Cohen's clear and authoritative playing with enthusiastic applause... a fitting finish to an enchanting and remarkable performance by a memorable artist."
—The Inquirer and Mirror, Nantucket, MA (1996)

"With sensitive touch and musicianship, pianist Judith Cohen interpreted three examples of Domencico Scarlatti's brief piano sonatas, making them as logical and charming on the modern instrument as they are on the old."
—Eastsideweek, Bellevue, WA
