Tchajkovsky Rococo in Leverkusen Review – Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, Rheinische Post
…Tatjana Vassiljevas Spiel- ein Spiel der Natürlichkeit,gespeist von der Freude, alle virtuosen Tricks auszukosten. Doch die junge Russin stellt die Technik nicht in den Mittelpunkt. Sie ist einzig die Voraussetzung, um das Cello singen zu lassen. Sie setzt ihren ganzen Körper ein. Sie streicht die Seiten mit Geist und Seele. Der Ton ist erdig, voll, er entwickelt sich selbstverständlich. Vibratos verzuckern und verzieren nicht, sondern sind Teil vibrierenden Ausdrucks. Die Musik lebt, sie bebt auch in den leisesten Passagen. In solchen Momenten zaubert Tatjana Vassiljeva Klänge, die an eine Glasharfe erinnern…
Ingeborg Schwenke – Runkel, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, 23.11.2010
…Innige Linien wechselten im Solokonzert mit galanten und virtuos dahin wirbelnden Passagen, die Tatjana Vassiljeva mit scheinbar selbstverständlicher Leichtigkeit aus ihrem Cello zauberte. Absolut faszinierend meisterte die junge engagierte Musikerin ihren Part…

Poetic phrasing – The Strad
TATJANA VASSILJEVA, winner of the first prize in the 2001 Rostropovich Competition in Paris, has forceful things to say in Chopin’s Cello Sonata with pianist Jean-Frédéric Neuburger (Mirare MIR 107). This intensity of feeling, coupled with her full sound and poetic phrasing make this a striking interpretation. Alkan’s Sonate de concert op.47, a brave pairing, also receives a convincing performance. In the haunting Adagio, prefaced by a verse from the prophet Micah, Vassiljeva paints a very effective tone colour high up on the lower strings, and in the pyrotechnics of the finale, which might have frightened off less virtuosic cellists, the ensemble appears effortlessly immaculate.
