Imants Resnis.
In 2004, he appeared with the famous Borodin Quartet, performing Quintet by
Dmitri Shostakovich.
Bruno Monsaingeon, a famous French filmmaker and musician, wrote about Nikita:
"I heard Nikita's playing in February 2005 in Moscow for the first time. And the
next time was in Paris a year later. His artistic gift and virtuosity made a
great impression on me. Whatever he played - Bach, Prokofiev or his own works, -
the clarity of the musical idea became clear and bright because of his mastery
in control of sound. You could feel that it was not just a performer who was
playing, but an outstanding musician".
A world famous pianist Bella Davidovich told about Nikita's performance: "His
interpretation made a great impression from the very first sounds of Scarlatti
sonatas… His delicate touche, a deep sonorous piano, beautiful and powerful
forte, the brilliant virtuosity that he had demonstrated in Mephisto-waltz show
a great talent of this seventeen-years-old musician".
Tikhon Khrennikov whose Second piano concerto Nikita has played brilliantly many
times, referred that "Nikita Mndoyants is a real brilliant among contemporary
talented young musicians that I know well. He has a rare combination of creative
and performers gifts. His present achievements give us the hope that in the
course of time he will become an eminent figure who would represent with honor
all our composers and performers culture for the whole world".
After hearing some of Nikita's works, Rodion Schedrin left an autograph on his
own scores: "To Nikita Mndoyants, believing in his successful musical future".
His music and his performers art have a special energy that is a feature of
really highly gifted personalities.
