"Ein Genie spielt Mozart" titelt Klassik.com die Besprechung der Einspielung von Mozartschen Klavierkonzerten mit dem türkischen Ausnahmepianisten Fazil Say (geb. 1970). Und auch Klassik-heute stuft diese Leistung, die "hinsichtlich Temperament, Feinstufigkeit, Red- und Sangesseligkeit sowie eigenwilliger Text- und Kadenzauslegung nichts zu wünschen lässt" zu den "wenigen wirklich geglückten, über Tag und Jahr hinaus weit in die Zukunft weisenden Mozart-Darbietungen ein, die in letzter Zeit erschienen sind". - Fazil Say hat bisher mit Einspielungen von Werken von Tschaikowsky, Liszt, Gershwin, Strawinsky und einer Mozart-Soloplatte auf sich aufmerksam gemacht (hier nicht angeboten). Die beiden A-Dur-Konzerte KV 414 und KV 488 sowie das C-Dur-Konzert KV 467 werden kongenial begleitet vom Zürcher Kammerorchester unter Howard Griffith. Fazit: Begeisterte Empfehlung, oder, wie Klassik-heute.de es ausdrückt "eine Labsal für Ohren und Herz"

Anna Vinnitskaya has now joined Alpha Classics. Her first recording for the label is devoted to one of her repertories of choice: the concertos of Shostakovich.'When I performed the Second Piano Concerto for the first time at the age of eleven, his music seemed very optimistic to me. Only later did I understand everything else that is concealed behind the "façade" of Shostakovich's music.'[The Russian pianist reveals two facets of the composer's music on this disc by juxtaposing the First Piano Concerto in C minor op. 35, an 'insolent' composition with a kaleidoscope of atmospheres and stylistic registers (Russian Romanticism, American jazz, neoclassicism) that constantly surprise the listener, and the more traditional Concerto in F major, which radiates youthful high spirits.] A pupil of Sergey Ossipenko at the Serge Rachmaninoff Conservatory, then of the great Evgeni Koroliov at the Musikhochschule in Hamburg, Anna Vinnitskaya won the Leonard Bernstein Prize, but it was her First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 2007 that launched her career. For this recording, Anna Vinnitskaya is surrounded by partners of the front rank: the famous Kremerata Baltica, regarded as one of the most creative ensembles on today's musical scene, and the prestigious wind players of the Staatskapelle Dresden
