Voices of the Press
Le Devoir … et la pianiste la porte avec une tendresse digne de l’intimité du décor d’une belle datcha. Her interpretation of the beautiful slow movement to the F Minor Concerto, where the opening wind entries are taken by the piano (thus establishing it from the first as a protagonist) is a case in point.
The Globe and Mail Fialkowska is pianistically the master of the singing melodic line, which she moulds with the eloquence of Maria Callas singing bel canto. In pure technique, the challenges of Russian piano composition – which often seemed the more insistent half of these songs – held no terrors for her.
Opera Canada … the gleaming romanticism of Janina Fialkowska as her pianistic collaborator is similarly heaven-sent.
