Peter Jablonski

"Peter Jablonski is a musician with great musicality and finesse; qualities that helped him discover the magic of Chopin's concerto." (Vjesnik-Zagreb, July 2011)

"The soloist Peter Jablonski presented musicality, subtlety and immaculate technique in which the attention was drawn to the beautiful, almost translucent ornamentation. Jablonski's imaginative phrasing and utmost clarity of tone found great accompaniment in the orchestra and enchanted the audience – which lead to a beautiful experience of Chopin's music." (Dubrovnik Times, July 2011)

"Jablonski fully captured the humorous gestures of the finale…clearly relishing the abruptness of Haydn’s unexpected cadences in a deliberate bid to unsettle the listener... The three Chopin Mazurkas were well chosen for their contrasting sound-worlds. Here Jablonski was most convincing – his performance had a charming lilt and rhythmic flexibility that brought out the true Mazurka character." (Bachtrack, June 2011)

"With Swedish born Peter Jablonski at the piano…the musical interplay and partnership between the soloist and conductor made listening to this performance of the first movement a real pleasure. Jablonski delighted the audience and earned much applause with his light-hearted and effortless playing." (General-Anzeiger, March 2011)

"Jablonski is a brilliant pianist who dares to take risks and deviate from the expected. The elegant and elegiac Chopin and Szymanowski Mazurkas were performed with a rhythmical precision bordering on the wondrous." (Svenska Dagbladet, March 2011)

“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)

"Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue can rival any Rachmaninov concerto with reference to the abilities required of a performer. With this in mind it is lucky that Chailly chose such a prodigiously talented and technically faultless soloist. For Peter Jablonski all the difficulties of this piece passed unnoticed as he reached to the core of Gershwin's highly emotional music... After Rhapsody in Blue the marvelous Peter Jablonski interpreted beautifully Gershwin's Variations on I got Rhythm." (Leipziger Volkszeitung, September 2007)
