"Rich's performance opens portals to Mozart I have never heard before, they sway and dance with ebullient personality and dimensionality: contemplative, intimate, indulgent, personable, yet played with vitality, lightness and sureness of touch. The Fantasie is a prime example of Rich's amazing musicianship, played with a coherence wherein each idea organically flows from the one preceding it with wit and intelligence and both musical and emotional logic. Rich seems ecstatically enthralled by this music. Could this be how Mozart himself played the work?" (The Stereo Times)

"Played lovingly, the Rich interpretations convey quick musical intelligence as well as digital finesse...This entire Mozart project warrants any record collector's serious consideration as a major contribution to the genre."   (on Mozart Complete Piano Sonatas, Audiophile Audition)

"If there was any doubt about the risk of such an enterprise, [the complete cycle of Mozart Piano Sonatas] let it be said at once that it was both a triumph and a vindication. Miss Rich's playing sounded marvelous . . . Never has Mozart sounded more profound, more complex and more pertinent to the present.
        Ms. Rich might well become a cult figure, specialized but general, particular yet universal."   (Fabion Bowers, Musical America)

"I heaped praise on Elizabeth Rich's first volume of Mozart Sonatas and this second volume deserves more of the same and for the same reasons. Her performances are natural, well-balanced, structurally sound and expressive, especially in the deeply felt slow movements. It is a joy to hear what she has to say about this wonderful music and to look forward to more."

"So brilliant is the conception and execution of each, that it would be my first choice (among other recordings). Indulge yourself and discover the REAL joy of Mozart."   (on Volumes 1 & 2 — Stereophile/Tucson Citizen)

" . . . evident mastery, both technical and interpretive of the Weber Concertos. Rich has composed her own spectacular cadenza — musical and inventive. It quotes Agathe's 'Leise, leise' from Der Freischütz — I found it irresistible and in keeping with the strange, haunting Adagio that soon follows. In brief, Rich is an artist with a mind of her own, a genuine instinct for Weber and for the dawn of the romantic age, and she has the technique to put her ideas into action most advantageously.
        These may well be the most persuasive advocacies of the Weber Concertos I have ever enjoyed. I was dazzled."   (Fanfare)

"Cogently shaped and deeply meditated presentations."   (Beethoven Sonatas — New York Post)

" . . . Magical aura . . . extraordinary disc . . . Ms. Rich is a magnificent Haydn player. Such vital, affectionate and knowing readings of this music are rare. A treasurable release."   (on Haydn/C.P.E.Bach disc — American Record Guide)

"A meeting of two kindred spirits: a quintessentially romantic composer and an equally romantic player at their best. Elizabeth Rich has a deep affinity for the ardor, tenderness and humor of his music, as well as the knowledge and analytical intelligence to write the scholarly program notes. Using her brilliant technique and unlimited tone-control entirely for musical ends, she brings out the mercurial moods of each work, from passionate impetuosity to feathery, whimsical lightness, and various her touch with a wealth of colors and nuances."
(on Schumann disc — Classical Pulse)

"A poet. With a beautifully cultivated way of playing, the American pianist Elizabeth Rich found her way into the ears and hearts of her listeners."  
(Die Welt, Berlin)
