'...refreshing novelty... scintillating evening... clean, sterling performance, with plenty of power... Ms. Puzaite's New York Debut was indeed memorable, and the interesting programming was a large part of it'.
Rorianne Schrade, Carnegie Hall, April 2012
'The bravura piano writing was entrusted to Evelina Puzaite, whose playing was as neat, glamorous and charming as her appearance'.
Richard Wilby, The Argus, Brighton Dome December 2011
'Puzaite showed herself a fearless pianist, in complete and poetic control of some thick textures'.
John Allison, The Sunday Telegraph, October 2011
'I wondered if the interval would ever get started as wave upon wave of applause washed across the concert hall in acknowlegement of her outstanding performance of Beethoven's piano concerto No 3 in C minor... Captivating, sensitive, at times powerful, Miss Puzaite's playing sounded as personal a statement as Beethoven's deeply emotional concerto.'
Phil Dennett, Shoreham Herald, Brighton Dome February 2011
'She tackled Beethoven's Piano Concerto in C Minor with a style at once sensuous and cunning... In Ms Puzaite's hands, it was like looking at a Turner painting -- all was light.'
John Keenan, The Argus, Brighton Dome February 2011
'...Evelina Puzaite began her recital with a no-holds-barred performance of Schumann's Sonata No 2 in G minor. It was refreshing to hear a pianist go for the emotional jugular of the piece, maximising its volatile imagination within a technique that made light of its pianistic challenges…there was real excitement...'.
Hilary Finch, The Times, Wigmore Hall 2009
'Evelina gave an absolutely superb performance of Schumann's Piano Concerto, where her poetic and sensitive playing was perfectly complemented by more then sufficient power…but the real strength of her interpretation, and which made this such a fascinating reading, were inner melodies and rhythmic niceties, especially in the scintillating finale, which made this familiar work sound so fresh again.'
Philip R Buttall, The Herald, Plymouth 2009
'Puzaite produced exactly the sort of personal interpretative and technical response this profoundly romantic work (Schumann's Davidsbundlertanze) requires.'
Max Harrison, Musical Opinion, Wigmore Hall 2008
'Fluent and engaging ... a young pianist impresses'.
Bryce Morrison, Gramophone 2007
'...her (Puzaite's) playing is always beautiful and technically accomplished in every way...wonderful colours and textures...maintaining absolute clarity in the most virtuosic and dense passagework'.
Nicholas Salwey, International Record Review 2007
'Here is a pianist who relishes the music, one for whom the actual notes are a means to an end...thrilling playing of real temperament...the wholly delightful thing about Puzaite's approach was its sense of fun...'
Douglas Cooksey, Classicalsource, Wigmore Hall 2007
'She played Liszt and Rachmaninov with power and brilliance'.
Leslie East, Preserve Harmony 2006
'Here is a major talent on the threshold of her career'.
Edward Clark, Prestegne Festival 2006
