Complete keyboard works
of Samuel Barber
Fanfare, USA (Walter Simmons)
“…offers a number of pieces never before recorded, and is probably the most valuable CD solely devoted to Barber's keyboard music…” - “…even the highly-touted Piano Sonata of 1949, played with an extra-ordinary combination of both power and delicacy by Lilia Boyadjieva in one of the finest readings on record…”
Fanfare, USA (Walter Simmons)
“…and if one were looking for the best recording of the Barber sonata, I would recommend Boyadjieva. …”
Le Monde de la Musique, France (Michel le Naour)
“… Lilia Boyadjieva’s appeal lies in her delicacy, the clarity of the sound planes, her understanding of varied moods and a touch that is always subtly measured…”
Diapason, France (Alain Cochard)
“… Lilia Boyadjieva always hits the target, thanks to her engaged, lively and poetic approach”
Samuel Barber,
Piano Concerto, Op. 38
Imerisia, Greece (Giorgos Leotsakos)
"… the marvellous Lilia Boyadjieva in a glorious display of technical mastery … clarified the whole thematic structure of the work…"
“Around the Fugue” a walk through the ages, from J.S. Bach up to today
Eleftherotypia, Greece (Yannis Svolos)
“… amazingly convincing, clear and coherent representation of the composer’s … writing style, offering rare quality and distinctive weight to this really unique listening experience!...”

Fanfare, USA (Peter Burwasser)
“ … this is, for once, a concept album that really works. It is fascinating to listen to a durable and rather stodgy format quite effortlessly withstanding the ravages of time…” - “… her Liszt is impressive, very self-assured and bursting with colour. In all of her playing, there is an intensity of purpose and bold dynamic control …”
Heidenheimer Neue Presse, Germany (Hans-Peter Leitenberger)
“… she mastered the overflowing Chromatic, the daring self-restraint and building of the sustained development of the stirring Fantasy, in a way that gave meaning to the piece's direct expressive force. The arpeggio passages with their intertwined harmonies and the fugue, characterized by harmonic finesse, were brilliantly performed …”
Schwäbische Post, Germany (Vivien Moskaliuk)
“… JS Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue" is rarely performed and it was thrilling to hear the rough-hewn complexity of this work as it unfurled before us with its upward and downward movements. The musical episodes that Lilia Boyadjieva executed masterly, with much temperament but, at the same time calculated dramatic effect, left no room for personal thoughts… ”
