" The range of atmospheres and emotions in the poetry of Yaniv Taubenhouse’s music is astounding. Rarely and only once or twice in a lifetime do you get to hear a musician and a pianist who is as sensitive as Taubenhouse to the voice of the heart, the breadth of human emotion and its relationship with the whisper of nature, and its roar
as well. " -Raul da Gama, Jazz da Gama

“ Few younger-generation players would be capable of a similar deconstruction of Time After Time, or following it with the intense uplift of Hope. New talent comes along with the seasons; fresh new talent is somewhat rarer and more precious."  - Brian Morton (Jazz Journal, March 2015)

" Yaniv Taubenhouse has a wealth of talent which includes many musical assets.
His special music is delightful, attractive, thoughtful, pensive, diverse, playful, rhythmical and a pleasure to listen to.
Yaniv's  music includes great combinations of natural melodies, harmonies and rhythms. 
The compositions and improvisations have many interesting influences, yet he maintains his own vitality and identity! "  - Joanne Brackeen

'' Yaniv is an extremely gifted, creative, dedicated young man who has proven himself to be an excellent pianist skilled in the various styles of jazz from stride piano to "bebop" as well as the more contemporary forms. He is also a superb classical pianist and is one of the few performers who is able to convincingly straddle both worlds of jazz and classical music ''  - David Schnitter
