From the Press
»Luminitza Petre mesmerised the audience thanks to her incredibly differentiated articulation, including the various vibrato and flautato effects«.
Verena Grosskreutz (Stuttgarter Nachrichten)
»Her violin actually began to sing - the cantilenas sparkled with arabesques and delightful cascades in a thousand glittering colours, and modulations were very electrifying thanks to Luminitza Petre's playing.«
Alexander Walther (Online Merker)
»Crystal clear line contour, colour and expressiveness...the independence of her music-making is striking«
Eckehard Uhlig (Pforzheimer Zeitung)
»A musicality refined down to the last detail...the music penetrates the heart of the listener. I am impressed by her honest playing, which reveals an infinitely noble and natural musicality. Her sound is reminiscent of the passion of Maestro Enescu«
