“The orchestra had a brilliant soloist in the young pianist Georgiana Pletea, whose wonderfully clear, sparkling, lyrical and light-fingered playing captivated the audience. Her noble tone, spirited style, and cultivated, finely-nuanced touch were enchanting.
… Georgiana Pletea performed the passage with profound intensity and lyrical warmth, imbuing it with an otherworldly magic, while being delicately accompanied by the orchestra. In the final movement, she brought forth an irresistible momentum and dazzling brilliance.”
Badische Zeitung, 2022
“Dana possesses a beautifully warm and flexible lyric soprano, distinguished by clarity of timbre, technical assurance, and genuine expressive depth.
Her musical intelligence, sensitivity and creative courage, combined with her ability to adapt quickly and translate guidance into compelling artistic results, make her a strong and engaging presence both in rehearsal and on stage.”
