Etudes-Tableaux
"“This interpretation is at the level of the very greatest: Hélène Grimaud (Denon), Nicolas Angelich (Harmonia Mundi), Nikolai Luganski (Vanguard), J-Ph. Collard (EMI) [..]."
-- Le Monde de la Musique (F)
“A MIRACLE. […] In Marietta Petkova’s wondrous hands, these compositions come to life, take on color, lighten your heart, enchant and move you.”
-- Répertoire (F)
“Her interpretation (recorded live) is worth a long detour.”
-- Diapason (F)
"A great example of what art can do…to convey the fragility of existence, the mortality of human beings, but at the same time, you’re reconciled by the beauty of the story.”
-- Lex Bohlmeijer, Het Parool (NL)
