“The greatest delight on this album is the harpsichord Adagio in G minor by Giovanni Battista Grazioli <…> If there is such a thing as universal beauty, the perfect balance of all internal and external qualities, this would be an example <…> The most sensational choice Zlata Chochieva makes is Friedman’s arrangement of the second movement from Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony <…> The fact that Zlata Chochieva succeeds in serving this genius in an almost solemn, relaxed mood as an intermediate course – without a big speech, without a big gesture, just like that – testifies to her masterly pianistic virtuosity and gives a deep insight into her disposition as an artist.”
