I am so sad that a great artist is gone, the first time I heard her was in New york playing Rachmaninoff piano conceto No 2 and then in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Ball playing Mozart piano concerto No 20. The world has lost a wanderful woman and artist. Did you know that none of her children wanted to study music?. Rest in peace Alicia Delarrocha.

Alicia was an amazing artist with many, many great recordings from all the great classical composers such as Mozart, Bach, Chopin as well as the great Spanish classical composers.

We lost a turely wonderful artist.

I heard Alicia play 3 or 4 times in London in Albeniz' Iberia, Granados' Goyescas, Falla fantasia Baetica as well as in Mozart. Her playing was always masterly. A wonderful artist. Today is the first I learn of her passing. A great lady.
