SOMPTUEUX RECITAL DE PIANO Les premières mesures de l'Appassionata de Beethoven ont d'emblée laissé apparaître un métier consommé. Des plans magnifiquement disposés, un élan irréprochable, un phrasé très souple...De la sonate en si mineur de Liszt, ce monobloc de génie, l'artiste maîtrisa toutes les facettes avec une aisance confondante. C'est avec ce monument que se terminait ce somptueux récital. Totalement séduit, le public obtient un bis, un petit Bach qui ne l'était que par la durée.

LA LECON DE PIANO – FESTIVAL F. LISZT Le festival Franz Liszt a débuté jeudi soir par un récital de tres haute qualité, offert par la pianiste lituanienne Mûza Rubackyté. Pour le premier récital de cette édition du Festival de Liszt, qui a eu lieu à Munster, la remarquable pianiste Mûza Rubackyté a profondément bouleversé l'auditoir.
DNA- ALSACE JUIN 1999

WIGMORE HALL Consistently compelling, and both musically and technically distinguished, this was some of the most distinguished Beethoven playing I have heard for a long time. Rubackyté was equally probing in Schumann's Carnaval, expressing the gamut of scenarios from a nervous and urgently hushed ASCH-SCHA, subtitled Dancing Letters, to a foreboding but strongly swinging March of the Davidsbündler. Of the encores, Liszt's Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody was unstinting in its technical power and striking for its sense of dramatic thread.
MUSICAL OPINION, London, UK, June 1999

Pianist of the distinction of Brendel, Cherkassky, Bolet, Perlemuter, and John Lill have graced our platform over the past thirty years, but under Mûza Rubackyté's spell, as the last ethereal notes of the Liszt Sonata ebbed into the darkness of the night, a transfixed audience rose as one.. We marvelled that so fragile and beautiful a frame could harbour and control such powerful emotions. Never in out experience as a music society has there been such a profoundly unanimous reaction..
WOULD YOU CARE TO SAY SOMETHING" (Livre d'Or, book edited in 1998)" Mr. Keith Scott CBE

MILL HILL CONCERT SERIES "Her playing dazzled with technical brilliance --she displayed deep knowledge of the music, and her genuine feeling came over to the audience in a way which is all too rarely seen. She is one of the greats, and we would welcome her return".
Walter Felman, Chairman of Mill Hill Music Society, UK

...Taken with her previous astounding Liszt recital (Mûza Rubackyté Plays Liszt, Lyr110), and intimately informed recensions of visionary, scattered, often fragmentary piano works of her compatriot, M.K.Ciurlionis (Marco Polo 8223549-50), the present album confirms not only a divinatorily muselike musician, but as simply one of the greatest Liszt players alive. Mûza Rubackyté projects the magic, the diablerie, the transcending superhuman expressiveness those technical inventions made possible to a far smaller number of supreme artists. Hear her.
FANFARE-USA MAI-JUIN 1998

WIGMORE HALL Mûza Rubackyté made a welcome return to Wigmore Hall on 22 September. It is only afterwards, considering the ravishing beauty of the achievement, that one realises the supreme technical excellence.
MUSICAL OPINION-UK, JANUARY 98

Cette disciple de J.Flier et de B.Davidovitch du Conservatoire Tchaïkovski aborde avec brio les partitions pyrotechniques. Plus encore que par sa virtuosité (Ronde des lutins), on est frappé par son assimilation du langage lisztien à la disposition duquel elle met la fluidité de son jeu (un sospiro), et l'élégance de son toucher (murmure de la fôret, la Campanella). Dans les études d'après Paganini, elle triomphe les difficultés dont Liszt a truffé ces pages aux climats ondoyants.
MONDE DE LA MUSIQUE-FRANCE OCTOBRE 98

INTERNATIONAL PIANO SERIES : Mûza Rubackyté is an accomplished artiste who has something important to say about the music she plays which surely lead her name becoming far better known in very near future. The defining point of Mûza Rubackyté’s Huston concert was her reading of Beethoven’s Appassionata Sonata. It was a rare case when refined musical tastes, an incisive understanding of musical form, and fully developped technique merged almost perfectly.
HUSTON CHRONICLE-USA NOVEMBRE 1997

The WIGMORE HALL was alive with virility of her performance. A rare treat of a rare talent.
MUSICAL OPINION-UK JUNE 1996

Such musicality : Almost the entire program had some link with Faust legend, with spirits and demons, and emerged in some breath-taking playing which had the audience on the edge of their seats for much of time. JERSEY-UK FEVRIER 1997

Que la surprise fut eblouissante : musicalite, velocite, intelligence, finesse de toucher, elegance et fermete du jeu. rien ne manque a cette jeune femme pour etre vite figurer parmi les artistes qui comptent sur la planete piano.
VOIX DU NORD-FRANCE Février 1997

NEWPORT MUSIC FESTIVAL saved the best pianist for the last. That would be Lithuanian Mûza Rubackyté, who dazzled the audiences here last summer and who was back for another lesson in just how the piano should be played. THE PROVIDENCE-USA JULY 1996

She let loose the full force of her temperament, playing with complete abandon and finally humor. Her huge intrepid performances, fulminating and girlishly whimsical by turns, brought people shouting to their feet at the end of each piece
BOSTON GLOBE-USA JULY 1996

Were the gods angered that a mere mortal could play the piano so well ? No just a fireworks display in the skies over Rosecliff, as Lithuanian pianist Mûza Rubackyté made her american debut. She turned out to be the real thing, though, a pianist with a ferocious technique, coupled with the soul of poet.
THE PROVIDENCE-USA JULY

1995 Zündende Interpretation...Enthusiastisch gefeiert wurden die junge litauische Pianistin Mûza Rubackyté und die Philharmonie de Lorraine. Mûza Rubackyté gestaltete das Stück vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton faszinierend in einem grossen Spannungsbogen. Sie hat ein wunderbar feines Gefühl für die klanglichen Reize, und ihre Virtuosität ist von einem überwältigenden "Drive".
VELBERT ZEITUNG-GERMANY MÄRZ 1995

Mûza Rubackyté is clearly a musician of rare talent, as is evident also from her transcription of the three extant movements of Ciurlionis's String Quartet.
GRAMOPHONE-UK FEBRUARY 1995

Excellente pianiste Mûza Rubackyté rend avec simplicité ce monde de miniatures, pastels de M.K. Ciurlionis.
DIAPASON-FRANCE SEPTEMBRE 1994

The present performance are abreath with that spirit, bringing forcefully to mind THE YOUNG ARGERICH IN CHOPIN... Now hearing MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ, an artist of phenomenal powers who must be counted among the most gifted pianists of her generation...Turning up amid the plethora of mediocre recitals by young hopefuls attempting to recreate The Legend, Rubackyté's recent LISZT program revealed the astounding and "consistent combination of power and shimmer, intensity and radiance, élan, and urbanity" comprising her unique sound -a sort of prismatically tinted ecstasy- which, with a present issues, suggests that she may be a Scriabin interpreter of the first order.

FEINNERVIGE MUSIKALITÄT Überall leuchtete ihre anmutige Anschlagskultur, ihre Feinnervige Musikalität durch die Interpretationnen hindurch.
RHEIN-NECKAR Zeitung, Allemagne, 31 October 1994

MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ has both a commending virtuoso technique to cope with the occasional eruption of strongest feelings and a keen sense of the elegiac poetry that the music calls for. CDRewiew, UK, July 1994 Here is something remarkable -the lightning reflexes of a LAZAR BERMAN wedded to the tonal finess of a BARENBOIM or BOLET in a sultry, unknown lithuanian beauty. MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ IS A BORN LISZT PLAYER with an instinctive grasp of the way that flourishes and fioriture, rippling arpeggios, tremolos, and massive chords call for color... Enthusiastically Recommended
FANFARE-USA, January-February 1994

FESTIVAL "PIANO A RIOM" : Un clavier, une baguette et quelques cordes. Mûza Rubackyté et Jean Jacques Kantorow face à face mozartien. l'esthetique de Mûza Rubackyté est celle de la precision et du devoir d'exactitude mais developpe dans une jubilation rhetorique qui en chasse paradoxalement toute froideur. d'un doigte quasi analytique, elle ecrit ses phrases avec les emerveillements d'un Bach.
La Montagne, 30 juin 1994

No barnstroming here. MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ's selfless poetry makes Liszt even more exciting. An excellent Lithuanian pianist, MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ is an accomplished virtuoso who makes no show of virtuosity. Even in the formidable Erlkönig, bravura is entirely subordinated to musical gesture, with exciting and chilling results. No that she lacks intensity. In the transcription of Die junge Nonne and Gretchen am Spinnrade she can make flesh creep.
CLASSIC CD, UK, March 1994

FESTIVAL "LA CHAISE-DIEU": tudieu quel temperament la rubackyté ! l'ecole russe du clavier, volubilite des tempi, perfection du trait, clarte de la polyphonie, luminosite du contrepoint. son concerto n° 5 "l'empereur" fut beethovenien de la cadence initiale a la phenomenale virtuosite des oppositions rythmiques du rondo final. mûza rubackyté fut imperiale jusque dans son rappel avec le second mouvement du "concerto en fa mineur" de bach.
La Montagne, 6 septembre 1994

MÛZA RUBACKYTÉ A BIEN ETE EXTRAORDINAIRE, TRES SURPRENANTE ET DES PLUS EXCEPTIONNELLE. VERITABLE PHENOMENE, INSPIREE ET CONFONDANTE VIRTUOSE, ELLE A SU ENCHANTER LE PUBLIC PAR SA PUISSANCE, SA GRACE ET SA SENSIBILITE.
