C
ellist Racheli Galay-Altman performed two different works which allowed her to showcase her ability and
sensitivity to the musical colors as well as her rich imagination. The Concerto in C major by Haydn was performed with subtlety and sensitivity to the different tonal shades. It was a crystal pure and joyful performance which revealed a rich musical culture. Racheli Galay-Altman’s wonderful interpretation succeeded to transfer the audience to a new musical dimension….

Chamber Klezmer Concert: A Noteworthy Show of Musicianship.

…the Galays, father and daughter…their feel for the music and their technical capabilities again came to the fore…Barrett’s wailing clarinet was a highlight.

Racheli Galay presented her rich temperament, technical ability and delicate touch creating a beautiful sound, rendering an interpretation that fulfilled the composers’ expectations. HRVATSKO SLOVO, Croatia, May 16, 1997


Israeli cellist Racheli Galay – dance of strong feeling…the character of every dance came through with a promising harmonic spirit. Her interpretation seemed linear and precise… Prolonged, warm applause greeted the emerging Cellist…

Dear Racheli,
Thank you SO MUCH for an excellent workshop with the Duluth East string students.   They have raved about it and how much fun they had with you and your innovative method to learn improvisation.

We will implement your suggestions for the Haydn in about five minutes.

Thank you again.  You are a master pedagogue. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets stay in touch and hopefully we will meet and collaborate next year.
