'You will be hard pressed to find playing of such super-fine precision and sensitivity. This is undoubtedly one of the most crystalline and exclusive Chopin recitals I have heard for some time. Such pianism forbids even whispered comparisons' (Gramophone)

'Demidenko's free-flowing virtuosity in such comparitive rarities as the Allegro de concert and Tarantella carries all before it, perfectly offset by the delightful polonaises and a sublime rendering of the Berceuse' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The performances are illuminating and perceptive in a grippingly intellectual way' (The Scotsman)

'One of the finest pianists of our time' (CDReview)
