...monumental wall of Spanish Dancer paintings. What is significant in this series is the relationship of the subject to the background. She handles color in the grounds with the expertise of a mature artist- one could stare all day at her miraculous combinations of streaks of yellows, greens, warm browns and cool blue-grays.

His tone is warm and inviting, his interpretations quietly romantic. Vladimir Horowitz--who once gave Perahia a few pointers--would have reveled in the results...
