“I almost fell of my seat! Here was a young pianist using exquisite, totally natural, rubato, indeed the hands were actually out of sync, the left leading the right – marvelous old-world pianism that Alfred Cortot would have admired.”
Classical Source Review – Wigmore Hall debut
“Yesterday, a new Ivo Pogorelich was born and I do not exaggerate. It was worth waiting the whole day to hear Sasha Grynyuk from Ukraine. What Glen Gould did to Bach, Sasha did to Haydn: His playing was precise, accurate, and rhythmic. But above all, what flow and style! His Haydn penetrated deep into my heart – this guy is great! Then came the Chopin Preludes. Sasha’ s playing conveyed longing, sorrow, and loss as if he was saying goodbye to the world. He is a combination of Rubinstein’s charm and the excitement of Horowitz. “
