Journals Comments over the Performance of Tsonka Al Bakri
“In her high leveled performance we could feel spontaneity, stable technic
ability, very clear and bright individuality. Bach Prelude and Fuga ware just on
the point dramatic and full of deep philosophy means, technically perfect and
floating. Chopin “Polonaise” from other side presented the high Slavonic soul,
which Boncheva expressed by endless melodic lines and captured expression.

“The strength of Tsonka Boncheva toward the dramatic and logic in the
complicated musical structures in Beethoven and Shubert was presented
perfectly. She showed impressive interpretation as well as perfect technic
abilities, bright feeling to timbers and colors and outspoken temperament”
