REVIEWS

I've never heard someone playing the 3rd piano concerto of Bartok with so much love....

Peter Cosse, Austria

Ms. Elzeser's rendition of the slow movement – an „Andante sostenuto“ - was noteworthy and beautifully sustained through a game of restraint and secretive, introspective interpretation.

Adolf Carl Gottvald, „Süddeutsche Zeitung“, Germany

Gifted with a profoundly artistical nature, I always appreciated her rare capacity to understand and re-create the most subtle works – with poetry, her temperament, her engagement and all of that – always with the highest level of pianistical means.

Jean – Efflam Bavouzet

  

With such a commanding interpretation, characteristic for mature artistic individuals, Hajdi Elzeser finished this musical event in the most beautiful way possible.

Bojan Ortakov, Macedonia

PLAY OF REACH NUANCES

Pianist Hajdi Elzeser impressed her listeners during the Forum Concert...“With dizzying perfection the pianist offered the variation sequence, that one can regard as a sort of compendium of beethoven's technique of expression“.

...“The sonata (Schubert D960) is a collection of divers emotions, that was hit in all their nuances by Hajdi Elzeser.“...“at least when the pianist succeeds in bringing alive the most skurillos figures and happenings in such a way as Hajdi Elzeser. One could hear him, the gnome, as he grumbles through the woods, excorted by short eruptive outbursts. The powerfull, archaic castle was also to be seen and the catacombs in Rome were to be heard. After the final sequence (Gate of Kiew) had ended, the listeners did not want to let the pianist go and applauded without end...“

Tobias Blum, Germany

WONDERFUL SOUND GLAMOUR

A crazy programme, a technically supreme pianist: the listeners were totally excited during Hajdi Elzeser's concert evening on Tuesday in the City Hall.....“And it was beautiful how the supremely gifted pianist played with magic the unendingly streaming flood of Schubert's melodies in seemingly relaxed manner.“...“For the mystical power of the images (Mussorgski) she found her own form: tones became artistic truth!“

Detlev Kittle Capredon, Germany

  

Chopins Sonate No.3, h-moll,….die wehmütige, zauberhafte Melodie des dritten Satzes, eines Largos, wurde von Hajdi Elzeser mit sehr beherrschter Empfindung gespielt und wurde so zum Höhepunkt der Sonate. Mit Bravour folgte das Finale, ein brillantes Feuerwerk im Dienst des musikalischen Ausdruks.

Joachim Gradewald, „Neue Wesfälische“, Herford, Deutschland

The pianist Hajdi Elzeser fascinated through her Ravel and Poulenc interpretations. She elated the audience with her playing, which was on the one hand technically brilliant, with great power, and on the other hand lyrical, painted in tender colors. During the pianissimo sections breathless silence reigned in the hall. At the end of the concert the public demanded more and she virtuously performed Ravel’s “Alborada del Grazioso” from “Miroirs”.

“Westdeutsche Blatt”, November 2006

 This critic must declare that Hajdi Elzeser provided the perfect accompaniment with her playing, adjusting to the dynamics of Pinto. Her tone ranged from refined and gentle sounds to strong pulsations.
