...at the Radio Concert Hall we have cheered a young piano player who has become a certitude even since the latest seasons - Alexandra Costin, proposing this time Schumann’s piano concerto, approached with her well-known technical accuracy and especially with that stylistic refinement to be easily found in the Romanian spirit, free of sentimentalistic excesses and with no intention to amaze: the pianist...is naturally playing for both her own joy and hours, being captivating since the very first bars...

... Alexandra Costin's interpretation delighted the public by her particular manner to valorize the stylistic element specific to Schumann's piano compositions : inner speech, sometimes accompanied by dramatic accents, exclusively lyrical passages besides temperamental bursts, nuances of rare delicacy together with bright tonalities. And everything was lead with much ability and natural feeling, free of that excess of sentimentalism approached rather often by various interpreters today.
