THE PRESS "With a repertoire based on compositions from her records as soloist (Refúgio, 1998; Duas madrugadas, 2004), Neves is a serious pianist, who combines elements of jazz, Brazilian popular music and rhythms from the Caribbean with ease and very good taste" On the presentation in Lapataia - Punta del Este - February 2008 By Humphrey Inzillo - Rolling Stones magazine - Argentina "Charismatic Christianne Neves shone with her own light" On the presentation in Lapataia - Punta del Este - February 2008 Jazz from here - Uruguay "The Brazilian pianist has got it all: looks, charm, stage presence and a technique to knock your socks off". "Miss Neves can double time, triple time and use counterpoint within those sambas and bossa novas to the extent that you are left breathless trying to keep up" By Pat Quinn in: EVENING NEWS - Edinburgh, Scotland - 17/04/00 ".... Christianne is a revelation as instrumentalist - agile, inventive and creative and as composer of many discoveries (...) She is joined on the excellent record by Sizão Machado, Tutty Moreno, Edmilson Capelupi and other respected musicians, who are guarantees for the listening. Refúgio is a record that will be played forever on the owner’s CD player..." By Mauro Dias in: O Estado de S. Paulo – 03/06/99 “Christianne Neves has the tendency to transform the piano into a merge between a drum set of 88 pieces and an elegant dance hall for her fingers. (...) And in being highly expressive, but without a useless flowery display in the compositions of a faster tempo, in the most reflective moments, an ethereal and delicate touch stands out, besides a characteristic taste of Brazilian music.” By Rob Adams THE HERALD - Scotland - 4/17/00 "The pianist of the São Paulo group Heartbreakers launches her first solo CD, showing inspiration and harmonic talent in the approach to classical pieces and her own compositions. Accompanied by musicians of the night, the fourteen tracks have an atmosphere between casual and emotional. Outstanding are "O morro não tem vez", in a jazz version, and "Bate-papo", by Radamés Gnattali." By Luiz Antônio Giron in: Gazeta Mercantil – São Paulo - May/99 "Pianist of the Heartbreakers Orchestra and composer, in this first solo repertoire, Christianne Neves reveals an agile and inventive instrumental talent tinted with jazz. Magazine Info Brésil – France – 09/15/99 "... Christianne is most brilliant when she composes (...) and shows a surprising creativity in her compositions. (...) Her themes are full of images, sensations, movements... tracks such as Ilha Bela, a ballad tinted with bolero or the crepuscular Paris, with a melody led by the nostalgic accordion of Eduardo Rossi, has an expressive strength and imagery, only found in experienced composers of sound tracks. Christianne’s vocation for this kind of work is evident.” By Ayrton Martini in: Correio Popular – Campinas – 03/21/99 IMAGES
