“Collaboration with
Dragana Petkovic was fantastic, in terms of both – technical demands
and interpretation…
…To be so creative in collaboration, we must speak of a pianist with outstanding qualities.”
Dejan Mladjenovic, violist “Being the postgraduate student under my mentorship, Dragana Petkovic has showed great enthusiasm, remarkable intelligence, a rare gift for artistic adaptibility and accompaniment.”
Olivera Djurdjevic, a full professor of “In Germany my piano accompanist was Dragana Petkovic…An experienced pianist it was a true joy having a concert with.”
Tatjana Olujic, violinist “Each time we have the opportunity to listen to Dragana Petkovic in one of our concert halls, more certain becomes the fact she is a pianist without an equal in our circles, either in terms of her artistic qualities or the frequency of her concert appearances.”
Maja Popovic, music critic, “Could a violinist express her virtuosity in such manner unless she had an adequate accompaniment? Dragana Petkovic has answered that question the first moment she has touched the keyboard on this concert. She was a collaborator capable to illuminate violinist`s strong points, playing unanimously with her, enthusiastic and passionate, yet capable to get to the side when necessary, with an impeccable tact…. A true mastery!”
Horst Schaumann, music critic “…Exceptional expressiveness…dramatics in tone…yet never unrafined but a successful combination of virtuosity with passion and enthusiasm…Dragana Petkovic did a superb job in pointing out the expressive side of Beethoven`s A-major Sonata (op.12,nr.2) as well as the Prokofieff`s in D-major (nr.94 bis), so in the whole this was a concert worthy of the most prestigious halls and big auditoriums.”
Branka Radovic, music critic, “Dragana
Petkovic, a young pianist of an extraordinary dexterity, as a member of
this duo led us to experience the highest standards in the classical music
performing.
Vlado Cuckov, music critic, “In the interpretation of Bach`s G-major Sonata…pianistic touche was predominantly colouring the acoustic texture, with dinamism and energy emerging from each bar, but especially in the exciting solo nucleus in the 2nd movement, at the edge of personal superiority.
Tijana Novak, music critic, “Dragana Petkovic practices the freedom of expression in her playing without abusing it, thanks to her musical gift, intellectual observation and superbly refined feeling for music based on traditional aesthetics; therefore virtuosity is not a purpose for itself but a natural, superior ability of using all the technical elements of interpretation to achieve the most profound acoustic creation.”
