new Rzewski album review in Arkivmusic
“Pianist Lisa Moore has recorded the music of Frederic Rzewski in the past, but this 2022 release, recorded not long after Rzewski’s too-little-remarked death, makes a fine memorial to the composer. In general, Moore’s playing is beautifully attuned to Rzewski’s music, which has a kinship to minimalism in its use of repeated material […]

Review for Lisa’s Rome American Academy ‘salone’ concert
Last night the pianist Lisa Moore performed a tightly curated, high impact program of solo piano music (and sometimes voice). Each work had its own arc and internal organization, but what I found revelatory is the way the program as a whole told a bigger, cohesive story. There was a definite left-leaning political edge to […]

5 star review in The Australian for Moore’s new album
“Moore reveals the gamut of her artistry, from the Bjork-like delivery of Andrew Marvell poetry to the thunderous battering of her hapless Steinway. Here, Moore’s music is never less than dazzling and breathtaking, offering a take-no-prisoners manifesto that is urgent, vital life-affirming.”

Wonderful Rzewski album review from VAN Magazine
“There’s a parlor quality to Moore’s voice, almost a sprechstimmy interpretation of the lyrics, augmented by her innate warmth and emotional immediacy…. Moore’s lawless love for the work transforms it into nothing short of a sacrament, moving from Stockhausen-like austerity into Lisztian excess; it’s a passion play followed by transfiguration.”

A nice Los Angeles Times mention for Lisa’s Rzewski Appreciation concert at Zipper Hall, presented by PianoSpheres
Two guest pianists were on hand with works written for them in 2020. Rzewski cultivated the reputation of a curmudgeon, but as Lisa Moore showed in “Amoramaro” and Ursula Oppens in “Friendship,” the composer lovingly captured feistiness in the former and profound strength and musicality in the latter. A longtime champion of Rzewski, Oppens made […]
