"Ms. Bilińska is obviously a fine pianist and she gave an impressive account of her abilities in her Carnegie Hall debut October 18th. Her version of Bach's English Suite in A Minor, BWV 807 was bracing and unfettered; stylistically knowledgeable - although utterly unapologetically pianistic and straightforwardly unpretentious.
[...] Next came a Chopin group. [...] The Mazurkas went splendidly. They had naturalness and shape, obvious structural insight ( phrase divisions; appreciation of hemeolas etc.), lovely singing tone, and best of all, a requisite dance - like flexibility that can sometimes elude many less idiomatic Chopinists [...] Bilińska's way (of playing Chopin's Tarantella), although technically impressive, stressed rapidly plunging tempos and the aforementioned fever to fine effect. The early Introduction and Polonaise were taken at an audacious clip and produced a sprinting effective performance. [...] As for three of Rachmaninov's Etudes Tableaux, Op. 39, Nos.1, 5 and 6, and the Sonata No. 2 in B flat Minor Op. 36 No. 2, played in the revised 1931 version, Ms. Bilińska emotionaly open, warm - hearted approach came near to producing what I would have thought impossible, the feat of making his sprawling sonata actually enjoyable! [...] Fine recital!"
