After the St. Petersburg World Festival for Contemporary Music, Mikhail
Bialik wrote: “The renowned Mira Yevtich gave a
brilliant performance and made us listen to the 2nd concerto
for piano and orchestra by the composer Ivan Yevtich and the
1st concerto for piano and orchestra by Brahms. Mira Yevtich did not only demonstrate a technical brilliance but also
a moving interpretation, without reserve, that one finds only
in the rarest of talents. An exceptional interpretation of
composers including Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Scriabin
by a musician that evidently knows the soul of the music”.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia wrote: “With the passing
of years it is not often that one has the opportunity to listen to the sublime
performances of Mira Yevtich. Her virtuosity and education reveal a rare
talent, energy and love for music. Her repertoire includes a vast program of
classic and modern composers such as Haydn, Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev,
Yevtich, and Rachmaninov to mention a few. We are proud and delighted with
the opportunity to ‘steal’ this exceptional artist from the European
concert halls and wish it will be possible to listen to her again in the years
to come”.
Prof Alfred Uhl Vienna: Her deep knowledge of works by Chopin,
Liszt, Beethoven, Jevtich, Rachmaninoff and her passion for the
perfection produced an exceptional experience during her concerts
in Vienna. She is surely an artist to follow throughout her
splendid career.
Le Soir, Belgium wrote: “Mira Yevtich’s interpretation
of Mussorgsky enriches the soul and inspire to higher levels
that one believed unattainable”.
The News, England wrote: “Mira Yevtich guided us through
the mysterious world of Beethoven, Mussorgsky, Prokofief and
Bartok with her exceptional performance and her temperament that
altogether gave us an unforgettable experience”.
