Comments of famous musical colleagues:
"She is really an extraordinary girl. I’ve listened many children, but Livyka made the greatest impression on me . She came on the stage like a real artist, as if it is the most natural thing to do. Her piano playing- it seemed like she was enjoying it herself- was a great art and her stage presence was unbelievable.”
Patricia Kopatchinsk
Violinist
„I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity of admiring Livyka Sokolov perform live on several occasions, on some of the most prestigious stages of classical music in our country’s capital city. I have also personally accompanied her with my cello on stage in Chisinau, in Bucharest and in Sibiu, Romania, where she was met with standing ovations at the “George Enescu” International Music Festival, for her flawless interpretations of Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, Claude Debussy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and many other great composers. I can only praise with words of utmost appreciation her talent, her exquisite intellect, her impeccable taste in art and her serious commitment to music, which in total make her an impeccable musician. She is technically gifted beyond any expectations and she can perform with apparent supernatural ease even the most challenging scores. On stage, she brings more than just wonderful music, she also captures the audience with what the Germans would most likely call “Ausstrahlung”, a very special charisma, a radiance that emerges from her very soul. This is further proof that an artist can only be born like that, and cannot be manufactured.“
Cristian Florea
Conductor and cellist
“While listening to Livyka’s piano performance, one can’t help getting fascinated by her musical endowments, genuineness and ingenuousness, combined with inborn sense of style and music form as well the intensity, thoughtfulness and remarkable technical profiency of this young talented pianist.”
