Elisaveta Blumina is a natural Brahmsian, with a full-bodied tone and
great technical flair. She invests this composer’s music with the
robust spirit it requires, yet never sacrifices the clarity of his
intricate architecture. By turns dramatic, playful, and poignantly
lyrical, she strikes just the right balance of strength and
sensitivity. Blumina knows how to coax from the piano the natural
beauties of this deeply romantic classicist. — Stuart Isacoff, Editor,
Piano Today (New York,USA)
