Concerti
"Khomichko plays with a clear touch and precise contours, with an eye and finger for the characterization of main and secondary themes." Review by Christoph Vratz, April 15, 2025
Aachener Zeitung
"The pianist Anna Khomichko, together with the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra under Mino Marani, brings out the merits of the concertos with an equally powerful and elegant approach. [...] A project well worth listening to." Rezension by Pedro Obiera, March 19, 2025
Pizzicato
"Anna Khomichko's playing is energetic and vital without being overly virtuosic. The pianist always remains clear in expression and touch, playing the Larghetto sensitively, gently springy and cantabile." Review by Guy Engels, March 12, 2025
Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung
"Anna Khomichko emphasises that she is a knowledgeable interpreter of these works. [...] Her narrative tone is natural and uncomplicated, never dry or sober, and leads gallantly through these early contributions to the genre, in which the dialogue between piano and orchestra is already laid out." Review by Jesper Klein, March 11, 2025
O-Ton
"[...] a truly marvellous sound can be heard. Anna Khomichko is in perfect harmony with the orchestra." Review by Michael S. Zerban, 07.03.2025
