reception

The Basque journalist and music critic Karmelo Errekatxo wrote about a concert by Książkiewicz in the Palacio Euskalduna in Bilbao (April 27, 2008), in which she played difficult pieces by Louis Vierne , Johann Sebastian Bach , Nicolas de Grigny , Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Franz Liszt :

“Para la intérprete no parece que existan dificultades en la ejecución de las más complicadas piezas. En la segunda parte, con la 'Sinfonía segunda' de Vierne, que tocó de memoria, como alguna otra pieza, el recital alcanzó carácter de excepcional brillantez. "

“For the interpreter, there doesn't seem to be any difficulty in performing the most complicated pieces. Since she played Vierne's Sinfonía segunda ("Second Symphony") and other pieces by heart in the second part , the concert achieved an extraordinary brilliance. "
