"During my lifetime I have met many pianists.One pianist in particular stands out among the rest...Mr. David Barela,who recently released the 'Romantic piano' CD. His keen attention to details and love for his craft resonates through these keys.It is evedent.
The great writer Oscar Wilde, once remarked," In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants. The other is getting it." This "universal " concept is probably applicable to everything on this planet except for Mr. Barela's 'Romantic Piano'CD.
Futhermore, there are a lot of pianists who can play piano very well; However, there is a difference between good and very , very good, and the differences are in the very small details. Mr. Barela is just great with minuscule details.
In conclusion, one can see easily that David is at the pinnacle of his career. He seems to be at that point of maturity that time has provided along with a deep understanding of music and talent that puts him among the best that the classical piano has to offer."

"David Barela's musicianship and the recording itself are outstanding. What interested me most, however, was the selection of pieces. The CD opens and closes with some beautiful, often haunting Debussy works. Between these works, a variety of composers (Chopin, Barber, Granados) and less frequently recorded works are featured to great effect. A must buy both for Barlea's talented play and for his taste in selecting an interesting set of music for the CD."
