"Ms. Aizawa acquitted herself beauteously at the piano, with an illuminating clarity in place of excessive showboating."

--Josef Woodard, SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS

[Mendelssohns's Concerto No. 1 G Minor, Op. 25 has] one of the more ostentatious entrances in the piano repertoire, but Aizawa negotiated it with the necessary drive and without any unnecessary flash, a balance she succeeded in maintaining throughout the performance."

--Charles Donelan, SANTA BARBARA INDEPENDENT
