General-Anzeiger, Bonn

Manuela Gouveia shares with her illustrious Portuguese colleague Maria João Pires a frail, discreet appearance tinged with humility. Immediately contradicted by the emotional intensity of her performance. But where Pires charms us with her magical phrasing and her emotional flashes, Gouveia immediately sets the scene where the structural lines of force are traced in a clear and limpid way to then pester us with the most heterogeneous questions: why this surprising modulation, why this bold counterpoint, why this lacerating accent? All in a wealth of colors and in a captivating sound that transforms the piano into a myriad of varied instruments, diverse and colorful voices.

General-Anzeiger, Bonn

A great piano talent – Manuela Gouveia’s strong interpretative temperament, her highly intense approach, and her refined art of dynamic shading, employing all the resources of the modern piano.

Jornal de Notícias, Porto

This distinguished pianist… one of our most accomplished keyboard artists, in a truly remarkable performance. The warm and sweet phrasing, a hallmark of Manuela Gouveia. The unmistakable music flowed from the prodigious fingers of Manuela Gouveia as only great performers are capable of producing.

Hamburger Abendblatt

Manuela Gouveia impressed from the very first note with the impeccable clarity and radiant balance of her flowing playing, her refined sense of form, and her highly developed tonal sensitivity.

Diario 16, Sevilla

Manuela Gouveia provided an excellent opportunity to appreciate the high interpretative level of Portuguese piano performance… the elegance and meticulous care in sound projection… the undeniable beauty of these pieces was conveyed and expressed by Manuela Gouveia through a commendable effort to faithfully unravel the creative intricacies of the composer.

Stuttgarter Zeitung

In Falla’s “Fantasia Bética,” Manuela Gouveia brought together everything that defines her playing: fantasy, a southern temperament, and considerable virtuosity.

A Ordem

The three prose poems, highly interesting pieces of admirable pianistic writing, to which Manuela Gouveia gave full prominence and originality… the three études and Debussy’s suite were exceptionally well performed… Outstanding were the veiled sonorities, the colourful effects, the play of nuances, the total fusion of technique and mechanics with talent and interpretative ability.

General-Anzeiger, Bonn

Audible was a Chopin full of depth and precision, far from any sentimental or passionate effects, yet also devoid of any pianistic vanity… Particularly outstanding was her Debussy, both precise and finely nuanced, highly expressive.

O Comércio do Porto

Beethoven, one of the musical creators for whom Manuela Gouveia seems particularly destined… the Rondo op. 129 was admirable in revealing all its nuances… the Sonata op. 109 was exquisite – with tasteful exposition and a demonstration of truly Beethovenian sonorities in all three movements.

Die Welt, Hamburg

With a keen sense for tonal differentiation, Manuela Gouveia displayed the full range of her considerable skill.
