The poetic ideal of the music was without doubt one of the distinctive qualities of the pianistic execution of Margrit Zimmermann. She alternated her impeccable technique with a lyrical capacity that transited from heartbreaking moments to other inspiring moments.

Absorbed by the music, Margrit Julia Zimmermann, created a deeply unforgettable experience. The magic of this evening was built up not only with the fascination of virtuosity performance. It was the fascination of artistic personality, which manifested through her appearances, her playing, and her musicality.

It's finely chiseled offering that suggests light on glistening crystals, the sort of piece Manfred Eicher might cull for his ECM label — although I doubt that even he could commission a better performance than the one recorded here, where the Lithuanian-born violinist Rusné Mataityte and Russian-German pianist Margrit Julia Zimmermann serve to underline the score's many stylistic subtleties.

Zimmermann performed Liszt's Fantasie quasi Sonata "Après une lecture du Dante" with outstanding brilliance. An inspiring concert!

Through her power of expression and fascinating intensity, Margrit Julia Zimmermann allows listeners a special kind of participation.

M.J. Zimmermann overcomes the listeners with her irresistible pianistic crescendos and tempestuous climaxes. She is a powerful pianist but with sensitivity for the fine details.

You created such a magical atmosphere which led me deeply into my inner world. You transformed the sound to vibrations that touched my soul. I feel a big joy and happiness with so much musicality and intensity.
