“Stunning Virtuoso solo…” (Evening Herald)
“Spirited performance…” (Edinburgh Evening News)
“Injected passion and energy into the rest of a varied programme…”
(Reg Burnard, This is Wiltshire)
“...Exceptionally interesting programme...a really good performance... Bulgarian Rhapsody Vardar brought the recital to a close in commanding style.” (Robert Matthew-Walker, Musical Opinion, Wigmore Hall Recital Debut, 2/06/06)
“...the performance of Janacek's violin sonata excellently reflected the music's restless and wayward moods...Falla's Spanish dance was spirited...the long unaccompanied solo of Ravel's Tzigane was Stankov's best playing of the evening, projecting considerable intensity whilst also suggesting something of Gypsy spontaneity.” (Max Harrison, Musical Opinion, Wigmore Hall Recital, 19/12/07)
