“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)

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
