“a lively and engaging program ”

"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."
