Reviews

“Jablonski unleashed torrents of octaves and floods of grumbling chromatic scales during the ominous episodes, then brought tenderness to the wistfully lyrical flights and mystical harmonies.” (The New York Times, August 2010)

“It was Jablonski's pianism, by turns delicate and forceful, that held the attention, with his sparkling account of Debussy's Feux d'Artifice an extra bonus.” (The Guardian, March 2010)

“There is Peter Jablonski’s intense way with Wiklund’s “In Thoughts”, darkly introspective music remembering Liszt’s late desolation, and his no less committed way with two of Szymanowski’s finest Mazurkas.” (Gramophone, February 2010)

“In Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 Jablonski’s performance was enticing. His tone was crystal clear yet still full of colour and boldness with sensitivity.” (Ongaku no Tomo, January 2010)

“Peter Jablonski’s performance of Shostakovich second concerto can only be praised as he manages to bring out not only the rhythmical intensity in the virtuosic outer movements but also the sublime reverie of the beautiful andante movement.” (Goteborgsposten, February 2009)

“Peter Jablonski gave a masterly performance using his formidable technique for its bravura style.  A versatile, exuberant pianist and international musician.” (Harrogate Advertiser, March 2009)
