“ Scarlatti Sonatas “

"This is a refreshing brace of Scarlatti sonatas, played on a modern Steinway. ShiZ’ka has no problems interiorizing, as she shows in the E major Kk162. There is no doubting that ShiZ’ka has a resonance with Scarlatti’s style, and her disciplined prestidigitation is perfectly in place. The order of the Sonatas works beautifully, and indeed much of the playing is elevating."  

— INTERNATIONAL PIANO, LONDON

"In her debut recording, ShiZ'ka displays a natural affinity for the style and character of 14 varied Scarlatti Sonatas. Her impeccable technique and clarity of sound displays unhurried, well-thought out interpretations. Stylistically accurate, this is sensible, emotional and confident music-making.”

— BRILLIANCE & FERVOR: Music in the Time of Corona

“ ShiZ’ka was in her element on this day playing Rachmaninoff’s Moment Musicaux and Prokofiev’s Sonata in D minor. The mood and virtuoso passages match her temperament and skill. She communicates deep longing and adventurousness, spectacular “Brilliance and Fervor” as the program is named.”
