“Impressive virtuosity.”
- Harris Goldsmith, New York Concert Review
A gifted pianist, capable of displaying her unique temperament and vitality. A natural performer and communicator. Her sound is brilliant, her phrasing intelligent, and her virtuosity impressive.
“Akagi is an elegant pianist with a controlled technical mastery in every aspect.”
-Lluís Trullén, Revista Musical Catalana, Barcelona
Akagi is an elegant pianist with a controlled technical mastery in every aspect—articulation, pedaling, attacks, octaves, leaps, a wide range of sonorities and dynamics—requirements that are indispensable for great performers. But her greatest strength lies in the combination of this refined technique with a musical personality full of brilliance and temperament, one that never shies away from powerful gestures or seductive effects of sound.
“Akagi’s performance impressed the audience.”
- James Bash, The Columbian, United States
A meticulous combination of technical precision and artistic interpretation went straight to the heart of a beautiful performance of Grieg. At the conclusion of her performance, the audience erupted in cheers and gave her a long standing ovation.
“Complete mastery.”
- Oriol Palau, La Porta Clàssica, Barcelona
Akagi demonstrated her mastery in performing music from different styles. A pianist who did not disappoint her audience. Clear and crystalline articulation in Scarlatti, textures of different colors in Takemitsu, and an impassioned Dante Sonata by Liszt. The audience repeatedly called for several encores.
