Several German jazz and music magazines reviewed recently Barbara Dennerlein's new album "My Moments":
Melodiva
Barbara Dennerlein released a new CD, and this nothing that needs any explanation. Because this page would not be enough for what could be written about this Grand Dame of the Hammond organ. ...
The organ is her big love and thus she presents the Queen of the instruments and her sister, the Hammond organ, on her new album "My Moments" with nine self-written solo pieces. ... Barbara Dennerlein has not only developed an incredible speed on the keys but is also able to act ambidextrous. This means that her left foot acts independent, taking over the task of playing the bass lines from the left hand, which can then play irrespective of the right hand. A sound sample that proves this incredible ability is "Black And White" that has the "Dennerlein-Sound" par excellence. With "Blues In The Pipeline" she sweeps any prejudice about the pipe organ as being "melancholic", "dull" and "too ecclesiastical" away with her perceptible enthusiasm and continuously changing facets. She writes about the CD that is was one of her most intimate recordings, and the result is extraordinary. She showcases her perfection with ease and plays as if she was playing only for herself and shares her passion with us listeners." (Anja Klein)
