"Berlinsky displayed complete technical mastery. He played the Beethoven Concerto with elegance of style and phrasing -- and in the Paganini Concerto, he gave an exceptional display of controlled violin playing."
The Strad

"He allowed himself to be carried away by the richness of the Franck Sonata. His tone was rounded and velvety, and he phrased in a way that brought out the music’s fire."
The New York Times

"an impressive showcase for Berlinsky's technical prowess and sensitive playing....He made it look easy." {Glazunov 2nd Concerto]
El Paso Times

"The Mendelssohn brought about the welcome appearance of the Russian (and now American-based) Dmitri Berlinsky,... A superbly equipped player, with a rock-steady bow arm and ultra-confident technique, he sailed through the 13-year-old Mendelssohn's precocious essay in concerto writing with serene self-confidence"
The Toronto Star

"Berlinsky shone. He exuded the confidence and poise of a young Valentino. There was no shortage of brilliance and fun in his performance of Paganini’s ‘La Campanella, and his verve was a source of delight."
The Washington Times

"Ysaye (1858-1931), a wildly celebrated violinist in his own time, gave the soloist a real chance to shine in his work. Berlinsky took full advantage of the opportunity, flawlessly gliding through the sometimes thorny piece. The young Russian has technique to spare, but never lets it become mere flashiness, instead playing with quiet authority."

Dmitri Berlinsky, violin

"Dmitri Berlinsky closed the concert with a poetic, sweet-toned account of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. ...Mr. Berlinsky brought something of his own to the music, namely a flexibility of phrasing that let him find fresh twists in the work's familiar passions."
The New York Times

"Berlinsky's eloquence and tastefulness imbued his reading of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with warmth and distinction."
The Strad


"Berlinsky... gets around his instrument with all the skill of the most celebrated violinistic hot dogs - at 16, he was the youngest first-prize winner of Genoa's Paganini Competition - but with a seriousness of purpose"
The Baltimore Sun

"it was an impressive showcase for Berlinsky's technical prowess and sensitive playing nonetheless. He made it look easy." [Glazunov 2nd Violin Concerto]
El Paso Times

"Economical in the histrionic department, Berlinsky's playing was the antithesis of his calm demeanor. Sonically, this was electrifying playing to more than satisfy any discriminating aural palate. Berlinsky's tone and scholarly phrase work captured the essence of Mozart's score. In every respect, there was finesse all over the place."
Salt Lake Tribune


"Berlinsky displayed all his technical brilliance, especially in the demanding third movement, marked ‘presto in moto perpetuo’ (fast in perpetual motion). But his playing in the first two lyrical and emotion-charged movements was beautifully shaped and shaded, spinning out the long lines with deep understanding and emotion." [Barber Concerto]
The Palm Beach Post

"Dmitri Berlinsky possesses an impeccable bowing technique which achieves a captivating sweetness throughout the breadth of the entire register..."
Le Nacion (Buenos Aires)


"The distinct artistry of Russian violinist Dmitri Berlinsky was surely the highlight of the evening in a deeply expressive performance of Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto, Op. 14. ... Berlinsky, in his refreshingly unaffected and polished stage presence, and extraordinary musical understanding, delivered a performance that was concurrently lyrical, rhythmically complex and harmonically rich."
Boulder Daily Camera

"...superbly played with beautifully contoured phrases. The artist captured the dark mood of the work and imbued it with a rich, warm tone throughout. Equally impressive, although in a different way, was the scherzo, in which he demonstrated manual dexterity that was almost athletic. ...Berlinsky is an extremely impressive young artist with fantastic technique..."
