ANASTASIA MARKINA

                                                                  


"Miss Markina performed Medtner's extensive Sonata-Reminiscenza op.38, no.1. With great passion, she displayed instant delicacy of technique, and seemed to be one with the keyboard, whether passages were gentle or intense. Her soothing artistry wove a web of mystery capturing every subtle variation in the work."

David Dow Bentley III
"The People's Critic"


"I haven't heard playing like that since Horowitz!"

"Markina is a phenomenon. No praise could be too high for her, a virtuoso yet one who plays with her nerves attuned to what makes musical partnering work: listening. And she knows, to go by her postludes in two of the songs, when to surge ahead. I can't think of a pianist who makes the fearsomely difficult piano part in Rachmaninoff's "Spring Waters" come off better."
