“No matter where you test Abdrazakhov in this recital, you touch the robe of genius.”
- Lynn René Bayley, Fanfar
“As the forlorn and mysterious Demon wandering the heavens searching for the warmth of human love Abdrazakov’s aptitude for characterisation is fiercely evident. Worthy of esteem is his exquisite legato and capacity for vocal colouring... Constantine Orbelian ensures tautly controlled and well paced tempi from the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra capably supported by the splendid Kaunas State Choir.”
- Michael Cookson, MusicWeb International
