—Stephen H. Stevenage
'Imaginative and superb musicians, Gavriella (Horn), Tirzah (Cello) and Ortal (Violin) Goldman display technical and emotional skills as well as undisputed artistry. Their music (mostly arranged by Ortal Goldman) was beautifully played throughout, while the sisters added a further string to their bows by acting at the same time. They were convincing, charming and wonderfully funny. Such versatility! . . . A show which is sheer delight! This is a show not to be missed.' 5 STARS
—ConcertBuzz about Piano Recital (Piano Not Included)
'I went to see this show, not knowing quite what to expect. I was intrigued by the title, Piano Recital (Piano Not Included). Indeed, much of the music in this show is from the Classical and Jazz Piano repertoire. There are a number of facets in this show, a couple of different threads in the story: there is the story about the pianist not arriving in time to perform with the other chamber musicians and how the three musicians, Gavriella (French horn), Ortal (Violin) and Tirzah (Cello) Goldman cope with the situation. In addition, there are a number of 'vignettes' which are extremely funny, some more subtle than others and some which are almost slapstick in their humour.
The Musicians are extremely talented and versatile; they are also convincing actresses and are full of fun and good humour. The polished craft of all the performers is undisputed.
This show is entertaining on many different levels; you don't have to be a music-lover to enjoy it. It is a show for everyone.
Don't miss Piano Recital (Piano Not Included). I guarantee you that you will enjoy every moment, as did I!' 5 STARS
