"Poetry … A kind of panoramic vision that looks ahead almost to
the world of Gustav Mahler emerged in Faliks’ performance of Beethoven’s
Sonata, Op. 111.
Washington Post (DC)
"Firm and vibrant playing … tonal weight and great expressive
flourish … a delight to hear…riveting passion and playfulness, warmly
poetic."
Baltimore Sun (MD) 2002
"... is an
authoritative performer who infuses every note with brilliance and
personality ... delivered with impressive accuracy and uncommon
self-assurance."
The Island Pocket (Hilton Head, SC)
"... never sounded
better than under Faliks' fingers. This reviewer does not recall
hearing its equal in propulsion, authority, lightness, and full
dynamics."
Hopkins Gazette (MD)
"... is a rapturous
work for the stouthearted pianist. The composer himself [Rachmaninoff] was
a piano virtuoso with gargantuan hands, and it takes an artist with at
least the same matching ego if not the digits. Inna Faliks has both ... pyrotechnic performance."
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
" Faliks
offered powerfully driven, technically accomplished accounts of Rodion
Shchedrin's Basso Ostinato and Alexander Scriabin's Sonata No.
5."
Baltimore Sun (MD) 2003
" Inna
Faliks began with Bach's Fugue in G sharp Minor, which projected a great
conviction and majestic conception from the first note. Beethoven's
Bagatelles, Op. 126, also demonstrated a mature musical personality, which
revealed the six miniatures and their inner content sharply defines
without exaggeration. In the Sonata Op. 111, Faliks played with the
courage to take risks and with an expressive intensity which went beyond
her technical perfection and showed a musician at rest within herself as
she constructed her interpretation with clear vision."
General-Anzeiger (Bonn, Germany)
2008
"Faliks ,
who performs all over the world, knocked the socks off this difficult
work. [Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini] with focused
accuracy and zero histrionics. "
The State ( Columbia, SC) 2008
