'Gololobova is an incredibly gifted pianist and musician. The Rachmaninov was wonderfully played, with great expression, while her renditions of virtuoso piano transcriptions or Julian Cochran’s Sonata no. 1 were nothing short of breathtaking.'

​

'Gololobova’s presentation was very well delivered, her play was passionate. Her interpretation of Julian Cochran’s Sonata no. 1 was extraordinary! Gololobova is not only a great pianist but above all a great musician.'
