“Technically, Ulasiuk is a giant, but it is his interpretative prowess that is most impressive.” (Fanfare Magazine)
(His playing) “brims with rhythmic swagger…and lush, lyrical themes mesmerize… it is his style of interpretation that sets him apart.” (MusicWeb International)
“… Ulasiuk plays with enviable technique, beauty of tone, and an understanding of the music before him that penetrates to its core.”
“Ulasiuk invests them [Mazurkas] with a combination of dazzling technique, fluid lyricism, and the poetic sensitivity that make his playing so compelling.” (Fanfare Magazine)
NOW AVAILABLE
CD of Alexander Scriabin piano works, including Nine Mazurkas Op. 25, Sonata #5, Op. 53, Sonata #7, Op. 64, and Sonata #9, Op. 68. Released by Centaur Records.
“The Mazurkas, op. 25 of Skryabin are a Universe or two away from the late Sonatas, with only the Fifth Sonata as something of a “bridging experience.” Intelligent programming as well as intelligent playing, then. As if that is not enough, Ulasiuk writes his own booklet notes, and highly insightful they are, too.”
“The Fifth Sonata positively flies off the blocks.... It is heady, satisfyingly discombobulatory and, when one listens with deliberately analytical ears, remarkably performed.”
“For all of the ‘Gothic visions, ghosts, and distorted horrors’ of the Ninth Sonata, Ulasiuk hears in it and conveys to us the beating of its Romantic heart. That’s quite an accomplishment to pull off in music of such harsh and hostile landscapes.”
"If Ulasiuk does not surpass the famed Horowitz interpretation, he comes viscerally close. A resounding, often thrilling exploration of music's esoteric, provocative genius." - Fanfare Magazine
ALSO AVAILABLE: CD of Ten Pieces from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 75, by Sergei Prokofiev, and Etudes-Tableaux, Op. 33, by Sergei Rachmaninoff, released by Centaur Records.
“…Ulasiuk clearly has a special affinity for this repertoire. Predictably, the pianist comfortably navigates the myriad virtuoso challenges posed by many of these scores, without ever sounding labored or brittle. Even more impressive is the young pianist’s mastery of the lyrical respites that punctuate the virtuoso fireworks.” - Radu Lelutiu, Fanfare Magazine
“On evidence of the present recording, I’d have to say that Dzmitry Ulasiuk is the total package, which makes him, not just a pianist, but an artist, a label, like genius, that is applied much too freely in the pop culture industry these days to many who are neither….Ulasiuk’s technical mastery and interpretive insights are likewise brought to bear in the Rachmaninoff Études…..This is not just pianism, but artistry, of the highest order.” - Jerry Dubins, Fanfare Magazine
