"Katarzyna Musial's technique is brilliant, her tone beautiful, sonorous but never harsh, with a great variety of touch, color and nuance. She had made the idiomatic rhythms and inflections of the Dances (A. Ginastera) completely her own, and projected both fiery temperament and songful lyricism."

"... Katarzyna Musial's blazing technique on this dificult work (Preludes by O. Messiaen) could have been recorded and marketed ..."

(...) The pianist entered with fluency and ease into the ethereal harmonic colors of the French master. The second Prelude was shimmering and brilliant; I would love to hear Ms. Musial perform all the Messiaen Preludes, as she has a natural affinity for this music.

(...)What I liked about Ms. Musial’s interpretations, though, was that she plumbed the Bukoliki’s emotional depths, imbuing them with warmth. It is good to remind listeners that small pieces can carry large emotions and she did just that.

(...)“Il Vecchio Castello” was wonderfully evocative; “Tuileries” was vividly detailed; and “Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks” was a pure delight, fleet-fingered and energetic.

PIANIST KATARZYNA MUSIAL MAKES TRIUMPHANT CARNEGIE HALL DEBUT AS FIRST PRIZE WINNER OF THE BRADSHAW & BUONO INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION

New York, Montreal, Paris — May 26, 2011. Polish-Canadian pianist Katarzyna Musial made her Carnegie Hall debut this past Sunday as First Prize Winner of the Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition. Critics described her performance as “full of intensity” with “a rarely seen virtuosity.” Cosmo Buono, the competition’s artistic director, labeled her “an artist without peer when it comes to modern piano repertoire.”

Ms. Musial, who performed a program that included works by Messiaen and Ginastera, continues to distinguish herself by focusing on composers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In so doing she has created a unique musical niche that continues to keep her in high demand. She will be performing with the McGill Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Boris Brott at Pollack Hall on May 30, 2011. Works on the program include unique arrangements for piano and chamber orchestra of M. Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and P. Hindemith's Four Temperaments. As a special part of the concert, images of artwork inspired by Mussorgsky's Pictures and produced by artists from Concordia University will be projected on screen.
