MUSICA VIVA, weekly paper, June 1999, Sofia:
The artist Angela Tosheva ventured something very typical of her - to play a whole range of Scarlatti's sonatas - 16, at a single concert. She has proved that her intuition can identify and convey uniqueness and subtlety of any composer or style, and make the audience feel the secret message of the composer. Her concerts have always been a memorable experience. She performed two encores brilliantly. Her every tone, every phrase, every breath led us deeper and deeper to the heart of the music, to Scarlatti himself. We all were there heart to heart. (Sylvia Tichova)
