“Polish
perfection”
…(…)
Teresa is a pianist of great skill and
sensitivity, as she showed in a feeling and deeply
understanding performance of Moonlight Sonate…Chopin’s
Polonaise in A flat major op. 53, which, familiar as it
is, never failed to stir one’s heart, and than Chopin’s
Preludes almost as affecting.”
( The Times
(r.p.k)
Yehudi Menuhin
himself “…(..) the high standard you
showed (…)”
“…(…) Chopin’s II Scherzo – one can say “plunging” into
that amazing and fiery beginning. Energy of the opening
was maintained throughout this inspired work, yielding
only to the lyrical and tender moments which form the
scherzo’s central episode. The final return of the
passionate elements came back with increased strength of
interpretation, to give a tumultuous, even thunderous
conclusion ….(…)”
“..(…) she can weave wonderful spells too, with her
sensitive touch and her understanding of the mood of
each piece, especially in her playing of Chopin’s
Preludes and Fantaisie- Impromptu…(…)”
Dr Colin Kingsley - Edinburgh

“Polish

Technically
in complete control of his instrument and with a fine
sweet round tone.(…)”

“…(…)
for technical mastery and musicality (…)”
