Musikkhøgskolens stipendiat Natalia Strelchenko har fått toppkritikk i "The Independent" etter sin konsert i Wigmore Hall 3. januar. Spillet hennes blir karakterisert som uimotståelig teatralsk, ømt og varmt.
Michael Church i The Independent skriver:
When Natalia Strelchenko skips on like a carnival Pierrette, fun is clearly on the agenda, but she opened with the grave seriousness of Ravel's "Tombeau de Couperin". This irresistibly theatrical performer presented the hieratic mysteries of Ravel's First World War memorial with tender warmth, before launching into an iridescently-shimmering "Ondine".
She then played a wonderfully weird virtuoso fantasia by Sigismond Thalberg on the theme of "God Save the Queen". After creating splendour with its fireworks, she zapped us with a towering performance of Liszt's "Dante Sonata". Would there be an encore? This game little trouper gave us three, and the more she played, the less we wanted her to go, because the whiff of the circus was steadily growing.
