"Rich harmonies and fresh melodies reflect an extraordinary individuality and wealth." Merkin Hall Concert Program, 1998

PRESS REVIEWS

  • “The most significant addition was an amazingly mature Quartet No. 1 by Nataliya Medvedovskaya, who wrote it at age 18. Only eight minutes long, the piece has a tight, arching structure, good ideas that are bounced around the instruments and a restless, dramatic temperament.” â€‹Richard S. Ginell, Los Angeles Times 

  • "Alternately poetic and bristly musical statement, wrapped with a compositional savvy..." Pierre Ruhe, Washington Post, 1996

  • "Like many preeminent Russian composers, Medvedovskaya is also an extraordinary pianist." Yale University Concert Program, 1997

  • “Nataliya Medvedovskaya, a composer member of NYCC, performed on piano with her usual virtuosity.” David Katz, New York Stringer Magazine
     

  • “Nataliya Medvedovskaya, whose piano performance in the October benefit concert was one of the standout moments, presented four sections from her piece Pantomimes. Humorous and evocative, and bearing the titles Alarm in an Anthill, Waltz of the Poisonous Mushrooms, Tiptoeing Invisible Beings and Tango of Octopi, these charming numbers were illuminated by… the always impressive pianism of the composer." David Katz about concert of new music at Symphony Space, New York Stringer Magazine

​

  • “…Nataliya Medvedovskaya, a young genius pianist-composer and award-winning star graduate, who’s one of the very few accompanists able to match Svetlana’s power and drama.” Pierre Spray, Mapleshade Records Handbook

  • "One of the most talented and individual composers." Jon Magendanz, Utica Chamber Music Society, 1997

  • "This composer's music is distinguished by harmony, brightness and freshness of melody, emotionality, delicacy and warmth of soul." Jon Magendanz, Utica Chamber Music Society, 1997

  • "Nataliya's music takes a walk on the wild side of tonality." By Jeffrey Kacamarczyk, The Grand Rapids Press, MI

  • "...Nataliya Medvedovskaya was the pianist. Ms. Medvedovskaya turned in a brilliant performance, with dexterity and incredible dynamic control.” David Katz, “About the"Arts" New York Composers Circle concert at Steinway Hall, NY, New York Stringer Magazine

  • “Nataliya Medvedovskaya...was the next composer. Watch this name.” Robert G. Newman, Charleston Daily Mail

  • “Russian-American composer Nataliya Medvedovskaya's cinematic First Snow proved to be a vivid and apt work for the global warming era – she misses her home country's ever-present winter snow. She described it to the audience beforehand as a cold piece, and as much as it relies on astringent atonalities, the way it tracks a winter storm – or two – is often unabashedly amusing.” "Wall to Wall Behind the Wall" International Festival, Word Press Lucid Culture

  • "The work of this talented young composer is remarkable in its rich harmonies and fresh melodies which reflect an extraordinary individuality and warmth." Merkin Hall Concert Program, 1998

  • “Poetic and fresh. Love the message of this song and you did it in an effective and beautiful way that I haven’t heard before." "Inside Out" Song Evaluation, Great American Song Contest

  • “Nataliya, your words are graceful and beautiful. Very poetic, majestic, not an easy feat. Strong lyrics with good imagery and emotion. Good job of creating piece that is moving and not typical." “Fairytales” Song Evaluation, Great American Song Contest

  • “Nataliya Medvedovskaya, an award-winning star graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatory that Rachmaninov attended 110 years earlier.” Pierre Spray, Mapleshade Records on Amazon.com

  • “Nataliya Medvedovskaya will turn your wildest dreams into a musical extravaganza designed especially for your hungry ears." Eartaster, CD Sampler # 4 Release
