Polonsky had... just the right touch. Seen as a whole, Polonsky's performance was a masterpiece of classical grace. She sculpted every trill into a miniature work of art, which would have pleased Beethoven... It was a very satisfying performance, all around.

...Thoroughly thoughtful and sensitive... My strong guess is that [Polonsky] is incapable of erring in her solid expertise and superior musicianship.

Polonsky commanded attention with her uncanny ability to play multiple voices with different timbres... and the unerring tidiness of her scale and arpeggio work.

...The Russian pianist was the soloist in Mozart's Concerto No. 19: her clear and transparent touch, her dynamic and finely persuasive play, revealed the temperament and the sensibility of a true Mozartian...

Polished ease throughout.

Polonsky's playing is extraordinary-elegant, intelligent, and acutely sensitive... her warm legato hints at a string player's sensibility...

An outstanding performer.

[Anna Polonsky] is a remarkably sensitive and flawless pianist.
