Newspapers Cuttings "Much confidence in her technique, much sensitivity in her phrasing, reminiscent of an early Martha Argerich. One can already sense the makings of a great pianist." Michel Cattelain "At 11 years old, Solène is already a dazzling artist possessing a mastery of her talent and an exceptional power of concentration." P.G Turahiti, Tahiti Matin "Very lively at the keyboard, Solène demonstrated not only a remarkable sensitivity but also a thrilling vigor at the keyboard. Whether accompanied or solo at the piano, Solène Getenet possessed the same comfort and confidence to the delight of the audience, which was astounded by the precocity and the maturity of the young girl." F.S, Les dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace The combination of her great modesty and simplicity, the joy radiating from her face, and her already great talent transported me to a world of bliss." R Lenormand "This so gifted and open minded pianist." Bertrand Ott "It seems to me the Solène definitely possesses all the qualities to be able to envision a beautiful career: magnificent musical qualities and a pianistic essence." Edith Canat de Chizy "Solène is an exceptional pianistic talent with a fine musical temperament and excellent technique. Her playing also has a remarkable individuality that is so often lacking in the playing of even very advanced pianists with more experience." Boaz Sharon "I've had 184 students. Among them, there have been some particularly gifted students, true. But Solène is truly unique, even extraordinary. It's the first time I've seen this. And what does the word "student" mean when such a gift is present? Of course, the work is necessary but with Solène sometimes, I no longer teach, I just listen and reflect." Désiré N'Kaoua It was surprising to see such intuitiveness and naturalness in the young pianist's playing. She didn't falter once, on the contrary, she exhibited a masterful understanding of the content of the music, such that one would not expect from so young a pianist. It was also fascinating to notice how profoundly the French pianist grasped the rather bitter musical thoughts of this very German composer. Friedrich-W. v. Oppeln-Bronikowski
