“She is not only playing. She lives in music…”
(Sonja Koller, General Anzeiger)
“(…)Sochacka explores with intelligence and great pianistic culture the very different sound worlds (…)she shows extreme concentration in the slow movement, while the lively and dramatic finale is stupendously virtuoso. The pianist has no trouble with the virtuosity of the Etudes either: she plays them razor sharp” (Remy Franck, Pizzicato Magazine)
“Sochacka opens up her recital (…) in an amazingly powerful and hypnotic performance. She is clearly a pianist who knows what she is about” (Lynn René Bayley, Art Music Lounge)
“One of the most promising artists of the young generation” (Cihan Barrut, Classical Mag)
“Sochacka’s performance has an austere, almost emotional imperviousness to it, but not one leads to boredom. In fact, the listener becomes an outsider eagerly looking in, trying to understand the mystery. (…) Sochacka surmounts the technical challenges with ease while clearly enjoying the playful and eccentric humor” ( Azusa Ueno, The Classic Review)
“Joanna Sochacka translates with poetry and clarity, a writing of volatile virtuosity together with keeping up the intensity of playing (…) She plays with an exciting passion. ” (Jean Dandrésy, Clic Musique Magazine)
“Joanna Sochacka is an extraordinary pianist (…) a lot of works are waiting to be discovered by her enormous talent” (Piotr Grella-Możejko, Śląsk)
“Pianist Joanna Sochacka is a woman on a mission(..) She has all the necessary skills, both technically and musically.” (Ralph Graves, WTJU Virginia US)
“Joanna Sochacka plays in a poetic and very intense way” (Jean Charles Hoffelé, ARTAMAG)
“The pianistic requirements are not a problem for this young pianist, on the contrary – they are a great excuse for her to show great freedom and full control of the instrument (…) It is worth more than once give yourself a chance to enter this dense and meandering piano world” ( Agata Kwiecińska, Ruch Muzyczny)
,,Dazzling harmonic interaction with breathtaking dynamic and a multiplicity of rhythm and tempi. Miss Sochacka manages the technical and polyrhythmic challenges with complete assurance, and brings out a kaleidoscopic array of nuances and colour.” (Raul da Gama, World Music Report)
