The pianist received enthusiastic criticism: “Tsenikoglou makes music in every moment, his nuanced lines, his gentle, crystalline and always formed pianissimo are wonderful. He proves himself to be a piano lyricist who captures even the forte, which has been crossed several times, with an elegantly rounded sound. That is magical. "

According to his interpretation of the 24 Preludes by Chopin SZ "a miraculous discovery" called him when he the Piano Festival of Music Academy Carnaval by Robert Schumann played, the press wrote: "... his game is of a color that enchants. In Schumann's Carnaval, every note is shaped into a nuanced sound miracle. It's not a virtuoso intoxication, it's a wonderful empathy with the music. In this way, the 17-year-old manages what only a few pianists succeed: his interpretation becomes a work of art. "
