Selected Reviews

“Miss Roden played as if she cherished every note of this music. Her technique – especially her control of dynamics – was impressive”
The New York Times September 20, 1981. Bernard Holland

“Roden’s performance, pushes contemporary music beyond the confines of a restricted genre. Moreover, in her performance, she resists all temptations for unnecessary showmanship or false pretense. That made the performance especially refreshing.”
Ex Musica, the fall issue, 2000. Yuji Numata

“Chie Sato Roden, a Japanese pianist who specializes in 20th-century American and Japanese works, proved an energetic, compelling advocate for her trans-Pacific repertory”
The New York Times October 9, 1993. Allan Kozinn
