"Piotr Milewski ... can play with a warm, sure tone, and shape phrases in a vigorous, natural sounding way ... played with the physical security one expects from every contest winner but in a full blooded, engaging manner that was very much of his own ... a performance full of impulsive, excited moments ... an ability to create washes of impressionistic sounds ... a spirited, rhythmically live rendition." The New York Times "Brilliant Start ... It was Milewski's Vienna debut which made the evening worthwhile. Not only technically is he extremely talented, but proved in the Wieniawski to have vital musicality with fine sense of rhythm and phrasing." Wiener Presse (Vienna) "Self-confident Polish violinist, Piotr Milewski, showed individual drive, technical bravura and warm musicality. A secure virtuoso ... rarely has Paganini's Caprice been heard with such a clear sound, temperament and technical security. Bach's g-minor Adagio was performed with meditative calmness and beauty which makes the great music really great." Stuttgarter Zeitung (Germany) "Piotr Milewski veredelte seinen Solopart mit vertrackten Doppelgriffen und virtuoser Geste. Ein Paganini mit Feingefuhl."
