“Ketevan Sepashvili confidently meets the technical demands of both composers and brings her rich pianistic experience and acquired artistic maturity to bear. She succeeds equally in realizing the delicacy of individual passages with a gentle touch, but in contrast to this, she is also convincing in the more energetic passages with a strong touch”.

Sepashvili mit Gabunia und Chopin
In the cycle of Frédéric Chopin’s 24 Préludes, Sepashvili chooses a pictorial and expressive approach. The slow Préludes have an intimate atmosphere, charming with their controlled grace and wide palette of colors, the fast ones with an expressive virtuosity and a pleasant luminosity of timbre.
But it is ultimately her art of touch that certainly has its share in the cycle’s moving effect.

Melodic miniatures by the late Georgian composer taken from scores for theatre and film. A rather lovely set, performed with delicate beauty by Sepashvili and flautist Temo Kharshiladze
Ketevan Sepashvili, the remarkable pianist on this album- Norman Lebrecht
Ketevan Sepashvili devotes herself to this delicate cosmos with the appropriate calm and relaxation. Since the music is technically not especially demanding, an atmospheric playing is the essential interpretative element, with which she succeeds excellently-Uwe Krusch

In this eloquently performed music, the Georgian language is another component that has a sensual effect on the ear.

All are delivered superbly here: tone colour is sensitively judged, dynamics well controlled. More freedom in interpretation would be welcomed

They have been making music together since 2018 and, being from the same origin, they are truly united in their passion for the music of their homeland.

The fundamental approach of her interpretation of Liszt is soft and flowing, with a lot of poetic and meditative elements to be heard, rounded off by rubato. In addition, one feels surrounded by waterfalls, fantasy figures seem to emerge, and the three Faust characters (Faust, Mephistopheles, Gretchen) may be omnipresent. Associations bey
The fundamental approach of her interpretation of Liszt is soft and flowing, with a lot of poetic and meditative elements to be heard, rounded off by rubato. In addition, one feels surrounded by waterfalls, fantasy figures seem to emerge, and the three Faust characters (Faust, Mephistopheles, Gretchen) may be omnipresent. Associations beyond the music arise, giving rise to a grand romantic narrative. This recording possesses an aura that is capable of transcending technique and interpretation into the metaphysical realm. What becomes important when listening is not what the performer is playing, but rather the extramusical images that are awakened in the listener.

On her new CD titled Faust, Georgian pianist Ketevan Sepashvili performs Franz Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata in D minor. I am familiar with the older version of the first piece, performed by Alfred Brendel. Ketevan Sepashvili's rendition is more thrilling, challenging, dynamic, and exciting
