Vienna International Pianists, Vienna, June 4th
2023:
“Viennese audiences had
the opportunity to listen to a very remarkable concert tonight: The Vienna
debut of the worldwide acclaimed pianist Zoya Shuhatovich!
From the first tone, everybody knew this was going to be a unique event! Ms.
Shuhatovich is a truly magnificent artist. She masterfully controls the
keyboard and makes the instrument produce magical sound-effects! The melody
always has a singing quality, the harmony is perfectly balanced, and the
sound is always "agreeable to the ears", as Mozart would put it.
Substantial piano, without fading, and a full forte, without any harshness! …
We want Zoya Shuhatovich
sharing her artistry with us again as soon as possible!”

Al pubblico non resta che applaudire la pianista la quale concede all’uditorio ben tre bis.”

musical sensitivity, her purity of style and integrity as she interpreted
each composition, moved the audience and allowed to tune in to what Chopin
intended to express”.

admire in every work this pianist played”.
