"The young ZABALY ... was able to delight us and probably more than that during a recital without facility ... We felt continuously in perfect communion of heart and mind, not to say of spirituality with this performer ... knowing how to find, in a personal mode (the quality of the silences, the decisive evidence of the musical phrase), the ways traced by people like CORTOT, SAMSON FRANÇOIS or CICCOLINI ..." Jean TIERRY, Midi Libre."... Brilliant interpretation that confirms the talent of this young world-class artist. Through the coloring of his personal playing and his virtuosity, he reaches the highest level of perfection ... "(Sudwest Press ULM - R.F.A.-)"... At the end of the various speeches, the artistic part began with the breathtaking performance of a virtuoso pianist, Eliah ZABALY, performing classical works whose notes were going to split on the night of the Holy Land, in front of an audience stunned and silent, a feat when you consider that many young people were waiting "pawing" their star. Marc HAVIV (Concert in Ben-Shemen on August 26, 2003). "... The play of Eliah Zabaly becomes a luxuriant and constant polyphony, but always differentiated, which gives him the full merit attributed to him the term « interpretation ». He gives us to hear and almost to see the density, the complexity and the unsuspected richness of the musical writing of the works that he interprets, neglecting no nuance ... The virtuoso's know-how gives to his play an exceptional expressivity served by a virtuosity that does not stand out ..."
