«Shevchenko was next with Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto. She has been, frankly,
gobsmacking since the start, and was absolutely consistent in her delivery of the Prokofiev:
total power, complete clarity of articulation and a phenomenal level of musicianship that is
already world class».
– «The Herald»
«She has a flawless technique, a spontaneous refined musicality and an exceptional
presence which gives her the ability to convey the most personal and convincing musical
interpretations».
– Pascal Rogé
«…Oxana Shevchenko is a great discovery. Judging from this recital, she can do anything… I
think we are watching the start of something wonderful.»
– «FANFARE MAGAZINE»: Dave Saemann
