“Very concentrated and demonic”
“Chihara of the three finalists played the most significantly. With the greatest passion, great concentration, a certain risk and courage, she put everything into her speech.”
“Satomi Chihara demonstrated breathtaking technical sophistication and the widest dynamic range”
“What’s more she is a sincere, versatile, sensitive musician with a remarkable inner drive. The range of her repertory is strikingly wide. From Bach to contemporary composers. That means also that she well understands the different styles of performance. That is something rather rare. She absolutely deserves your dedicated attention. ”
