Marina Baranova, eine Konzertpianistin wie ein aufgehender funkelnder Stern am Firmament.

Kritiker schreiben "Marina Baranova, eine Pianistin wie ein geschliffener Diamant, die eine Seele dem Flügel verleiht, sie spielt auf eine Weise einen wild bis sprunghaften, zart romantischen und träumerischen Stiel, reich an Nuancen, voller Lebensfreude und Übermut die, die Zuschauer immer beflügeln lässt..."

"...It is Marina Baranova's highly sophisticated sense for continuity that generates a compelling urge to move on forward, which is, of course, not at all brute force, but absolutely natural and authentic. She builds up the most electrifying crescendi, but also masters the sudden change of tone and dynamics. And besides her superior skill, she demonstrates an excellent feel for rhythm. Her performance is as virtuosic as natural..."

"...Extraordinary how, with her clear and differentiated play, Marina Baranova makes audible every single detail of the music, working out different tempi with great care and weaving an astonishing variety of tone into a complexity yet unheard. Wonderful!

A fine web of impressions, beautifully woven..."

Ranging from baroque to romanticism and the impressionist Claude Debussy, she performed a variety of classical piano music that, as a whole, gave a rich picture of tones, moods and intensity. In particular, Marina Baranova impressed with an usual level of expertness that enabled her to master the most different approaches.

Marina Baranova impressively mastered the change between virtuosity and intensity, especially in Frédéric Chopin's ballad in g minor. And Debussy's "L'isle joyeuse" came as a sparkling little jewel: Sensitive structures of tone flying airily through the hall, evoking images of an enchanted island..."
