      "...Zhislin launched straight into the great Chaconne from Bach's Partita....this was a performance of strength....,the arching phrases played with confidence and insight."
      - Dundee Courier, Scotland. February 1998
      "...Zhislin's performance of the Piazzolla's Four Seasons sounded as if he has  spent all his life in Argentina."
      - El Comercio, Spain. August 2002
      "Yuri Zhislin's playing was full of warmth and entrancing stylistic verity that helped coax the dramatic contrasts of the Finale, where a highly charged climax exploded into the auditorium."
      - Musical Opinion, February 2003
