\u201cMargarita Shevchenko \u2026 proved to be sensational.
\nTranslation from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, GERMANY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026In a demanding program that ranged from Bach\u2019s English Suite in G Minor to a stupendously difficult sonata by the Australian composer Carl Vine, Ms. Shevchenko played with scrupulous clarity and abundant technique. In Schubert and Chopin, the delicacy of he scurrying pianissimo passagework was exemplary\u2026
\nThe New York Times, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018The real essence of her almost breathtaking playing style was the unusual individual musical interpretation of each piece that appears in a deceivingly effortless fusion of analytical and intuitive qualities, showing an amazing internal consistency\u2026 Certainly a spectacular evening which set high standards in interpretation of Chopin.
\nTranslation from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026She was an inspired messenger of Chopin and her identity with his mix of sweetness and fire continues to grip the ears\u2026 In this artist\u2019s hands, the mercurial writing was clarified by gossamer passagework, thunderous octaves and bubbling trills that set Chopin\u2019s thoughts into penetrating focus. Shevchenko made gold of sonorities with melting sense of poetry\u2026
\nThe Cleveland Plain Dealer, OH<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 The audience was held in a state of awestruck musical admiration by her masterful technique and intelligent, well thought out interpretations.
\nThe Islander, Sanibel Island, FL<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Ms. Shevchenko plunged in fearlessly for a breathtaking traversal of a Sonata. She possesses both a lyric impulse and dramatic strength in abundance and staked a potent and unmistakable claim on this work. Each beautifully shaped phrase seemed to grow out of the preceding one. Climaxes developed with the inevitable force and sweep that signify the musical architect. We watched in fascination the delicate ballet of her hands. We had a sense throughout of the artist living in the very sound she was creating. One could not help but sense, just for the briefest moment, an oceanic feeling that bound us all together in some indefinable way that borders on mystery: artist, composer, listeners, the natural world around us\u2026
\nThe Southampton Press, NY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Such a rare concert was the performance of the Russian pianist Margarita Shevchenko, an artist by the grace of God who does not only master all the facets of piano playing, but also reaches the deepest substances of the music. Technically she is rare, because she possesses the power to bind delicately controlled touch with sparkling powerful playing.
