Kateřina Englichová

"...On Wednesday night at Weill Recital Hall, she presented a program, that amply demonstrated her talents and made a case for the harp as a recital instrument."
"...Though Ms. Englichova is slender and thin-limbed, she makes a surprisingly large sound on the harp."
"... Ms. Englichova´s sound is enhanced by the vigor and precision of her touch. Indeed, in a solo sonata by the Classical period Czech composer Jan Ladislav Dussek, you might have thought you were hearing a harpsichord."
"... fast passage work rippled by with impressive articulateness and shape."
"... The concert ended with two Impressionistic "Images" for solo harp by the French harpist Marcel Tournier, who died in 1951. Here again, in her feisty performances Ms. Englichova was intent, it seemed, on disabusing us of the idea that the harp is merely an angelic instrument."
