Awards and reviews
January 2018
The virtuoso performance given Sofia Gubaidulina’s early Chaconne (1962) achieves a terrifying intensity…Gulyak also makes a strong case for the rarely heard Sarabande and Chaconne from Handel’s Almira, Liszt’s gift to his British disciple Walter Bache. Drawing on plenty of variety in both dynamics and articulation, Gulyak foregrounds the inherent tension of Liszt’s juxtaposition of the two dances.

[In the Busoni] Gulyak is terrific, her performance combining craggy grandeur and warm intimacy...A fascinating collection, superbly realised and beautifully recorded.
