Washington Performing Arts Society recital

“Vinnitskaya is a true lioness at the keyboard, devouring the most difficult pages of music with adamantine force. She seemed almost to relish the technical thickets, never rushing, never banging, maintaining control of wildly different simultaneous textures (in the Gubaidulina Chaconne) and pacing long buildups with unswerving focus. In this literature, she has everything a top-level artist needs.”

“…Russian-born pianist Anna Vinnitskaya is clearly a name to reckon with…There’s little doubt that she has the measure of each work, demonstrating not only formidable technical control but also a truly remarkable range of tonal colouring.”

“Evidently, the Steinway piano in the Beethoven Hall of the Stuttgart Liederhalle felt terrific under her hands, because the young pianist, Anna Vinnitskaya, drew the warmth of a Bechstein out of its otherwise cool, metallic sound…the incredible security with which she mastered the great technical demands of the most famous of all piano concertos was astounding.”

CD Review: Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

“Verdict: If there’s a finer Rachmaninoff pianist in the world nowadays, I don’t know who it might be.”
