“a lively and engaging program ”

— Hattiesburg American

"Amoroso" from Prokofiev's ballet "Cinderella" painted pretty textures and featured a marvelously slow crescendo that built up to glorious, big sound... In the performance of (Vladimir Leyetchkiss' transcrpition of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring) there was lots to like. Belsky had sharp contrasts between a very light touch and a big, hard sound. She realized the harsh yet invigorating music with crispness and precision. And she knows how to make raucous sound ravishing."

— M. L. Rantala, Hyde Park Herald

“Your performances were extraordinary both for their musical insight and for their quality... every work was performed with confidence and elan.”

— Jon Becker, Arts & Education Consultant

“Thank you for playing your program of Busoni compositions... for our ... concert. Your engaging style while introducing the works made for a delightful and informative afternoon.”
