Dubravka Tomsic at the piano is the picture of strength and command in every sense. She is never for a moment in doubt as she glides warmly and gracefully through punishingly difficult passages. With perfect pacing and superlative mastery, Tomsic unfolds music with entrancing finesse. She is a rare blend of energy and elegance, a treasure.

“Her playing is big, opulently colored, imaginatively pedaled; it is generously emotional but never sentimental.”
—The Boston Globe
