"I am writing in support of and to recommend Daniel Wnukowski.
I had the opportunity of hearing Daniel at a number of concerts in Europe where he resided during the past year and I was most impressed to hear such a rare and spectacular talent. Daniel is not only a virtuoso in the grand style, but he is also a true musician and poet of the keyboard. He is one of the few young pianists I have heard in the past decades who plays with great passion and individuality.
Daniel also has a winning personality. He is extremely brilliant and at the same time, modest and personable."

American Pianist and Composer (1920-2006)
"It is with the greatest enthusiasm that I recommend the young Canadian-Polish pianist Daniel Wnukowski.
His command of the keyboard is that of a first class professional pianist and his musicality is of the highest class of artistry.
I've heard him play a most varied repertoire from the most virtuoso pieces of Liszt to the most challenging musical works of Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven and it seems clear to me that no piano music would give him any problems.
He has my highest recommendation."

"His training at the world-famous Chopin Academy in Warsaw has combined with a dazzling natural talent to make him one of the most exciting young pianists in the world. At his first concert with our orchestra, the audience’s refusal to let him leave the stage was such that I had become worried we would have to pay our musicians overtime!"
