About Dena’s Playing

“…Jones seeks to excite the human spirit, which is one of the basic, driving forces behind all aspects of great performance…”

– Villa Grove News, Villa Grove, Illinois

 

“Jones’ performances were first rate, and her piano skills were absolutely dynamic and sensitive.”

– El Paso Times, El Paso, Texas

 

“Dena Kay Jones has the power of Larrocha and the speed of Watts, and is likely to make a significant impact on the world of music.”

Sierra Vista Herald, Bisbee, Arizona

 

[On Spanish Music]

“…performs these great piano works, where nationalism goes hand in hand with music and culture.  It’s very exciting…”

– The News-Gazette, Champaign,/Urbana, Illinois

 

[On Jones’ Debut CD, Select Piano Works by Joaquín Rodrigo]

“The pianist heard here, Dena Kay Jones, is an American who has made a specialty of studying and performing Rodrigo’s piano works.  It is no small compliment to say that she has mastered his Spanish idiom so well she might be mistaken for a native of his country.  The recordings have a perfect depth of soundstage and presence for the mood of the music.”

– New Classik Reviews, Atlanta Audio Society
