Mundoclasico

Klassik Heute
"These three compositions appear fresh and lively [...] The pianist interprets them in a natural flow, with relaxed tempi, without sentimentality and gimmickry." Review by Antje Rößler, March 22, 2025
Aachener Zeitung
"The pianist Anna Khomichko, together with the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra under Mino Marani, brings out the merits of the concertos with an equally powerful and elegant approach. [...] A project well worth listening to." Review by Pedro Obiera, March 19, 2025
Radio Bremen Zwei
"This era is particularly suited to Anna Khomichko, and this can also be heard on her first orchestral album. [...] The piano part is fine, delicate and virtuoso." Review by Wilfried Schäper, March 16, 2025
Pizzicato
"Anna Khomichko's playing is energetic and vital without being overly virtuosic. The pianist always remains clear in expression and touch, playing the Larghetto sensitively, gently springy and cantabile." Review by Guy Engels, March 12, 2025
Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung
"Anna Khomichko emphasises that she is a knowledgeable interpreter of these works. [...] Her narrative tone is natural and uncomplicated, never dry or sober, and leads gallantly through these early contributions to the genre, in which the dialogue between piano and orchestra is already laid out." Review by Jesper Klein, March 11, 2025
O-Ton
"[...] a truly marvellous sound can be heard. Anna Khomichko is in perfect harmony with the orchestra." Review by Michael S. Zerban, 07.03.2025
