"She spoke the composers' languages fluently, diverse though they were... The vitality and pointedness of Ms. Tchekoratova's reading served both the work and its composer admirably."

— THE NEW YORK TIMES

"There is something extraordinarily compelling about energy, and when pianist Lora Tchekoratova sat down and, without the usual pause to adjust herself or to gather her thoughts, launched into a wonderfully clean and lucid account of the Bach Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, her energy swept the audience along with her. Her ability to bring into the foreground individual notes from the composer's cascading arpeggios highlighted melodic fragments that rarely surface."

— THE WASHINGTON POST

"Pianist Lora Tchekoratova captured the élan of the work's early movements and combined subtlety and brio in the merry pianistic romp of the finale."

— SOUTH FLORIDA CLASSICAL REVIEW

"Powerhouse pianist and vivacious, endlessly curious human."

— THEARTSDESK (UK)

"Contemporary treasure Dobrinka Tabakova's Stone Trail Quintet was the undoubted highlight — masterminded by the liveliest and friendliest of native musicians."
