YOLANDA
Supreme Mistress of the Piano
UPON THE COMPLETION OF HER EUROPEAN ENGAGEMENTS THIS SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL, WILL RETURN TO AMERICA NEXT SEASON AND BE AVAILABLE FOR RECITALS AND CONCERTS FROM JANUARY TO JUNE
“It was brilliant playing, poetic, imaginative and with a Magyar quality to it after Liszt’s own spirit.”—Chicago Evening Post.
“Mme. Mèro is one of the impressive figures among the women artists of the day.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
“Mme. Mèro has been called the greatest woman pianist and she showed herself yesterday equally the peer of the greatest of men.”—San Francisco Call and Post.

Some Characteristic Mèro Press Criticisms in Brief from Her Last Am ncan Tour :
powers. On the contrary she has again within the week demonstrated to local music lovers that SHE IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BIGGEST PIANIST WHO EVER VISITED THE CITY.”—Victoria Daily Colonist.
“SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO BE GLASSED AMONG THE REALLY FEW GREAT WOMEN PIANISTS OF THE WORLD; her reception and in fact her playing has probably not been approached by any virtuosi heard in this city in years.”—Vancouver Daily Province.
“IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS AND PRIVILEGES OF THE WHOLE MUSICAL SEASON TO HEAR YOLANDA MERO. Beauty was spread all over the music and all in all the recital was an occasion of memorable piano playing.”—Sacramento Union.
“A poem in music and a poetically brilliant pianist cast a spell over an audience of music’s devotees yesterday afternoon. Mme. Mèro has rare distinction, a quality of poise that is exceptional. YOU FEEL THAT SHE IS IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS. She plays with an assurance that is fascinating.” —Edwin Schallert, Los Angeles Daily Times.
“The fame of Yolanda Mérò’s brilliant success as a pianist drew her enthusiastic admirers to hear her in recital. As if to refute the assertion that a woman cannot play Chopin, MME. MERO PRESENTED A GROUP OF THE MASTER’S COMPOSITIONS IN A MANNER BEFORE WHICH DE PAGHMANN WOULD HAVE BOWED.” —Helen M. Bonnet, San Francisco Bulletin.
“THE SUPERB FIRE AND SWEEP OF MERO’S STYLE OF PIANISM IS KNOWN AND ADMIRED BY MANY GONCERTGOERS. It seems needless to enumerate her qualities, yet we must record our enjoyment of her marvelous pianissimo playing. In cantabile and soft passages, her tone sings like a human voice perfectly modulated. The forte is a trumpet blast, a challenge to combat, what you will of heroism and power A—Herman Devries, Chicago Evening American.
“MME. YOLANDA MERO IS THE MOST BRILLIANT PIANIST HEARD HERE THIS SEASON. She has a clear, ringing tone, a powerful touch with which she can produce whispering pianissimos and her technique is masterly; her runs were liquid and faultless.”—Washington Herald.
“MME. MERO, WHO HAS FEW RIVALS AS AN INTERPRETER OF LISZT, STIRRED HER AUDIENCE TO A FURORE OF ENTHUSIASM by her performance of the Liszt concerto. Mérò’s technical equipment is one which ranges from the delicacy of a falling flower petal to a Dionysian energy, which is fairly hypnotic in its effect upon her audience.”—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
“MME. MERO IS EASILY IN THE FIRST RANK OF PIANISTS OF THE PRESENT TIME. Her technique is clear and her playing is characterized by a brilliance and dash that any of the big pianists might envy her.”—Portland Telegram.
“To say that she is the greatest Liszt interpreter ever heard in Victoria is to suggest limitations to Mme. Mèro s
