Press reviews

"Concert paraphrases by Franz Liszt, those virtuous pieces ... mostly appear as final parts or as encores. Throughout the evening, Joanna Michna presented seven of them - a unique physical and mental masterpiece ... It was a fantastic evening."
Mannheimer Morgen

"...that concerto pianist Joanna Michna turned out to be a real jewel. Following in the footsteps of Franz Liszt with virtuous eloquence, thereby playfully mastering extreme technical difficulties..."
Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, Heidelberg

"She is not only equipped with a brilliant virtuosity, but she touches and captivates her audience with her play, mainly directed towards her inner self ... The result was an unlimited enthusiasm of her breathlessly listening audience because she performed the famous March of Grief from the b-minor-sonata, op. 35 how it has never been performed before."
Appenzeller Zeitung, St. Gallen (Switzerland)

"...her sensibility and poetry ... she is a great lyrical talent..."
Tak i Nie, Kattovice (Poland)

"...a gifted artist of the keys ... she very admirably masters the immensely high technical standards that Liszt sets up ... the pearl-like arpeggios ... atmospherically captivating ... changing moods ..."

Le Temps, Tunis (Tunisia)

NRZ, Düsseldorf

"Joanna Michna created a stimulating poetic atmosphere ... Chopin suits the character of this young woman very well because she perfectly shares his enthusiasm as well as his tranquillity. She expresses herself with solemn joy..."
La Libre Belgique (Belgium)

"Without any haste, she sensitively, nearly romanticizingly presented the oeuvre. She brought it to life by her flexible intonation and her variable articulation ... she smoothly played rapid successions and arabesques and she softly and flexibly played even the most mighty sequences of chords. Consequently, each of the sounds got its own individual meaning..."
Mannheimer Morgen

"She is a world-class pianist, this Joanna Michna. Her technique is absolutely virtuous, her interpretations ... reach from emotionally moving, sensible lyrics up to the force full of verve and temperament, with exciting breaks and with an intriguing sense for the whole range of the abilities of the instrument..."
