Raphael Alexandre Lustchevsky - official site

"What a delight to have Raphael Lustchevsky with us at the Conservatorium! He is a consummate musician who engaged his audience and lifted them in a vibrant and sparkling concert performance. His manner with them was wonderful.
His work with the university students was first class and his work with the Young Conservatorium students, high school aged musicians, was superb. He invited them to trust and then they gave of their very best. It was quite inspiring to watch.
Most of all he was a magnificent ambassador for Poland and for music. You should be proud of him! Thank you very much for the opportunity to have him visit us over these few days."

Ralph Hultgren, Head, Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, Brisbane QLD, Australia

"I had the great pleasure earlier this year to hear Mr Lustchevsky play.
His command of the instrument is masterfully impressive - I had the impression that there was nothing he could not do on the piano - he has a great sound, thrilling technique and posesses that rare gift of making you feel he is playing for you especially. On this occasion he was greeted with thunderous applause, confirming my impression.
If you have the chance to listen to this remarkable young man play I am sure you will be as I was, spellbound ."

James Galway, OBE, October 2000

"I have had the occasion to listen to Raphael Alexandre Lustchevsky several times, both in competitions, master-classes and concerts, and do not hesitate to say that he is ready for a major and international career."

Alexis Weissenberg, October 1998

"I wanted to tell you how moved I was by your recital - most especially the F major Nocturne and the B flat minor Scherzo (Chopin). I do not think I've ever heard them played more beautifully - and Lord knows I've heard both played ten thousand times".

James Mathis, January 2003
