The New York Times wrote that Zayas had “… style, sensitivity, a big technique and an aristocratic flair for the mixture of romanticism and classicism embedded in the music.” And BBC Music Magazine said she was, ”…a musician deserving the highest respect.” Here is Volume II of her rendition of Schumann’s best piano solo works.

Vol. I, Music & Arts CD-1148, released last year, contained  Schumann’s Sonata in G minor, Op. 22; Fantasie in C major, Op. 17; Romance, Op. 28 No. 2 and the Schumann/Liszt: Widmung.
