Reviews

“I have been fortunate to hear Lyubitskaya playing a wide range of repertoire and I have been particularly struck by the profundity of her creative intelligence, the very high emotional level of her playing, not to mention her technical brilliance and artistic ambition. Taken together, these qualities certainly place this wonderful pianist in the leading ranks of her generation.”

Evgenie Barankin

“A vivid creative imagination, great temperament, and inspiration – all these things are very attractive qualities of Victoria Lyubitskaya. She is able to make free use of the whole pianistic arsenal and deploys it as a means for conveying musical ideas, her conception of a musical work. This makes Lyubitskaya’s playing organic and convincing.”
