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
