November 2011
In music that so many pianists play merely for thrills and bravura, she proves a thoughtful artist with a wonderfully flexible sense of line and tempo...there's always a sense of a musing, meditative intelligence exploring their layers of meaning in the very act of playing, as if she is spontaneously creating the music under her fingers. Her very wide range of colour, always sensitively and appropriately applied...make these interpretations very special
October 2011
I'm impressed by Gvetadze's unfailingly beautiful sound and I would buy this recital for her perofrmance of the two song transcriptions alone: Widmung must be one of the most beautiful accounts on disc.
September 2011
Her tone is liquescent and her sprays of pianistic fioritura sound effortless, yet she possess all of the strength that Liszt's writing requires...[The DVD] is not only charming and atmospheric but it is also extremely accurate in conveying her fingers on the keyboard...This short film constitutes an unexpected visual bonus to a CD that would be very worth acquiring even without it.
