Other Minds New Music Séance 2005:
review - Jonathan Russell, San Francisco Classical Voice
Paul Hertelendy, ArtsSF.com :
"Cahill's feat in this "New Music Séance"---the first such triple-concert marathon in any one's memory---was outstanding."
Two Redheads and 88 Solenoids, with Kathy Supove 2004:
Ruth Crawford Centennial 2002:
"Cahill had the happy idea of commissioning seven women composers, five from this coast and two from the other, to write homage pieces for Crawford's centennial, preceding them with Crawford's own Nine Preludes of 1924-28."
Spoleto Festival USA 2001:

Old First Church, San Francisco 2001:
Leo Ornstein and George Antheil concert, Miller Theater 2000:
"Cahill negotiated all these and other difficulties with consummate grace, leaping rapidly all over the keyboard without ever losing her even sweetness of tone."

Sarah Cahill Performs Piano Works by Johanna Beyer and Ruth Crawford - Andante, Everything Classical
San Francisco Observer 'Then and Now' review - Keith Gleason
"This formerly West Coast pianist is more and more resident in New York these days, giving us the benefit of her phenomenal technique, her instinctive command of recent aesthetics, and quite possibly the most interesting repertoire of any pianist around."
-Kyle Gann, Village Voice, 12/18/01
"passionately mercurial"- Kyle Gann, Village Voice, 11/14/00
"Athletically graceful at the keyboard yet able to distinguish ppp from pppp"
- Kyle Gann, Village Voice, 5/2/00
"excellent" - Alex Ross, New Yorker, 12/4/00
"Ms. Cahill played all the music with an illuminating clarity" - Allan Kozinn, New York Times, 12/9/00
"There could be no more intoxicating introduction to Crawford's music than this superb recording"
- Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, 6/3/01
"Sarah Cahill has a unique gift for coloring, interpreting, and expressively heightening new music almost as if it were Chopin, and does so in such a winning, compelling way that one scratches his head wondering why every new music pianist doesn't follow her example."
- Mark Grant, New Music Connoisseur
"One will not soon forget Cahill's delicate performance of (Cowell's) 'The Fairy Answer'"
- Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times, 2/4/97
"That Cowell's experiments with piano tone clusters... were not just gimmicks was abundantly clear from Sarah Cahill's exhilarating performance"
-New York Times, 3/19/97
"Cahill is a strong advocate, both in her obvious passion and her technical and emotional fluency." -Amazon.com, 8/9/01
"Sarah Cahill, a performer fervently admired by the New Music crowd, as well as by people interested in pianos and the people who play them. Ms. Cahill is a good-looking woman with an intense gaze and a businesslike demeanor. She has a nicely laid-back manner, but she doesn't talk down to her audience and she doesn't waste time trying to charm them."
-Charleston Post and Courier, 5/31/01
"Pianist Sarah Cahill is both historian and evangelist" -CD Now
"Cahill, youthful, slight, blond and mild-mannered, presents a persona ideally suited to Crawford's world." -Andante.com
"Her examinations had volatility, conviction and a kind of restless
originality that served (Debussy's) 'Pour le piano' surprisingly well."
-Washington Post, 10/10/01
"Cahill plays the lively, unpublished 'Set of Two Movements' (by Cowell)
as if inspired by a roomful of Irish dancers." - East Bay Express, 1/14/00
"Her playing is both spontaneous and refined, and she has a wonderful feeling for Ravel's complex rhythmic phrasing. Her 'Scarbo' is electrifying, and in 'Miroirs,' she creates a magical atmosphere... Altogether an outstanding recording."
- West County Times, 12/6/97
"Cahill... played with a virtuosity that demonstrated Cowell's precise command of his peculiar art."
- New Yorker, 2/97
"The program opened with the Toccata in D major by J.S. Bach, played by Sarah Cahill with remarkable technique and sympathetic engagement." - Appenzeller Zeitung, 7/6/77
"If I had my way, Sarah Cahill would be declared a public
treasure and forbidden to ever leave the city limits." - Berkeley Voice, 11/26/99
"Cahill supplied an electrifying rendition of two magnificent unpublished works"
- American Record Guide, 2/97
