Reviews

“She plays Beethoven’s fifteen Eroica Variations almost seamlessly… She has perfect balance in the canon in variation VII and she crosses hands so smoothly in VIII and XI that you’d swear you could hear three octaves at once… The last movement’s complex fugue on the simple theme has the Russian pianist at her most brilliant…”
Words and Music: ‘Study Leave’ – Rick Jones / 10 December 2013

“What a joy is this performance, and what a thrill to hear the developmental links to the great symphony laid bare. And Schumann’s great Symphonic Etudes, in this wonderfully characterised performance, are the perfect foil.”
Herald Scotland – Michael Tumelty / 2 February 2014

“… there’s a sharp, inquisitive mind shaping the performance, one that’s quickly responsive to every change of direction… It makes for an involving, energising experience…”
The Guardian – Andrew Clements / 31 January 2014

“Her subtle way of shaping and differentiating lines works miraculously for Beethoven”
Pizzicato – Remy Franck / 26 October 2014

“… transcendent in her search for the universal… Georgievskaya gives a pure, correct, elegant interpretation…”
Ritmo – Inés Ruiz Artola / March 2014
