The German magazine Fono Forum selected
Jerome Rose's
"Live in Concert" series as its Choice of the Month.
The series features a total of six DVDs and a new release on Blu-ray. The video
production, editing, and DVD authoring was done by I and the sound was
recorded by Joe Patrych of Patrych Sound Studios. The reviewer at Fono Forum
wrote:
"The simple visual presentation with occasional split screens and cross-fading is
entirely focused on interpretation, so that the playing of the pianist is documented
directly and without distracting side effects. The series that started off with
works by Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin and Liszt is now continued by the pianist with
the four last Schubert Sonatas on the same high level and in the same modest, but
by no means unappealing, setting. Rose's Interpretations of Schubert are of formidable
caliber, both in terms of mental penetration and competent technical handling."

The German magazine Piano News featured a rave review of Jerome Rose's performance of Schubert's Last Four Sonatas. The video production, editing, and DVD authoring was done by I and the sound was recorded by Joe Patrych. Read below what the reviewer wrote about the filming of this concert:
"These qualities of interpretation are by all means visible, because the cameras do not focus only in a stationary way on his fingers, but also observe him with slow zooms and soft angle changes. Sometimes, the direction is further loosened with images split into two or even four screens, making Jerome Rose's fully matured interpretations a visual pleasure as well."
