ALEXANDRA SEGAL | PIANO
“It was the apotheosis of the evening at the Athenaeum. Alexandra Segal performed an extremely demanding concert with the vision of a great soloist. Her spontaneity is captivating. From delicate sonorities in pianissimo to accumulations of volcanic magma, she knows how to clarify or cloud the musical narrative, moving from one state of mind to another like a flake instantly melts on human skin.” - LiterNet
“Alexandra Segal’s dazzling performance left us in little doubt as to the eventual winner. Hers was an extraordinarily virtuosic, buoyant rendition, impressing with both its intelligence and power, showing her to be flawlessly in command not only of her instrument but of her relationship with the orchestra.” - Bachtrack
“Both sensitive and steely fingered, Segal captured the score’s large scale romantic palette with full sonority and subtle gradations of speed and pulse. Her entire rendition was played with a touch of interpretive inspiration.” - South Florida Classical Review
