Marianna Shirinyan (concert pianist, professor at the Norwegian Music Academy in Oslo):
“Dominik Wizjan is a mature, extraordinary talented young musician with poetic verve and high technical command”
Olaf John Laneri (concert pianist, winner of F. Busoni International Piano Competition):
“Elegant, charming, intense. I have been particularly impressed by Dominik Wizjan’s way of playing. He enlighten the pages he performs by a personal, intimate light, though always attentive to what the author demands”
Krzesimir Dębski (composer, conductor, jazz violinist):
“Dominik Wizjan is yet very mature, serious artist, unfamiliar with showiness and empty virtuosity. He plays the authentic Music. He possessed deep, beautiful sound and understands contemporary music, pieces of which he performs as premieres. Structures his repertoire in an incredibly considered way. Dominik can make choices, which indisputably will lead him to small in number circle of real artists – performers capable of developing the Music.”
Niklas Sivelöv (pianist, composer, professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in
Copenhagen):
“I had the pleasure of hearing the pianist Dominik Wizjan at several occasions and I believe him to be a very accomplished and talented young artist”
