Renowned Australian pianist Leslie Howard writes in July 2019:
"Viktoria Hirschhuber is a sensitive, committed and intelligent pianist, with a splendid balance between calm, beautiful playing and full dramatic command of the instrument. She impresses immediately as a real musician’s musician."
Great Austrian pianist Paul Badura-Skoda writes on December 9th 2018:
"During one of my last masterclasses I met the highly talented young pianist Viktoria Hirschhuber. Rarely have I met an artist who, like her, loves music with all her heart and has the ability to turn her love into sound. The world needs such people! I wish Viktoria much success in her life."

Matinée »Junge Überflieger« at “Herbstliche Musiktage Bad Urach” (Germany) on September 30th, 2018
Florian Prey – German singer, son of unforgettable Hermann Prey and director of various cultural festivals – about Viktoria's performance at “Herbstliche Musiktage Bad Urach” on September 30th 2018: "... when the young pianist Viktoria Hirschhuber enters the stage, an understated magic exudes from her. After a few bars I was overcome with the feeling of time stopping, stopped and eventually disappeared altogether. A noble, beautiful, clear playing, yet so graceful! Mozart would doubtless have enjoyed listening to his variations in such an unpretentious, natural, and simple way. In fact, I heard him call "Bravo, Viktoria, Bravo!"
Gala Concert for the piano sponsors in Anif (Austria) on December 10th, 2017
"With her touching and expressive interpretation, the young Viktoria Hirschhuber has fascinated our sponsors, and completely convinced them that every donated euro is a worthwhile investment for the "Bösendorfer". She played the French suite in G major by J. S. Bach with such wonderful phrasing and subtle ornaments, and always in an energetic rhythm. Bach's music is rarely heard performed so captivatingly on a modern grand piano. Following Mozart's Fantasia in D minor, she executed his Duport Variations with sparkling lightness. After the concert break, the young pianist surprised with her convincing interpretation of the G minor Ballade by Chopin; she developed the melancholic poetry of the piece with much emotion and demonstrated breathtaking virtuosity when tackling the work in the Stretta. It is indeed difficult to believe that such a petite young pianist would cope with such a monumental tone painting as Franz Liszt’s “Venezia e Napoli", and yet her masterful rendition taught all those present a lesson. With a staggering depth of expression and enthralling virtuosity, Viktoria presented this “Tone-drama” to the audience, to great and enthusiastic acclaim from them, who were rewarded with the Love Dream by F. Liszt as an encore.”, Hans-Josef Knaust, organist and member of Anif.Kultur.
Matinée at the “Gauting Summer Festival” (Germany) together with soloist of the Munich Radio Orchestra on May 28th, 2017
“What a morning! The Munich Wind Quintet, with the great bassoonist Till Heine alongside his outstanding colleagues, Alexandra Muhr, Florian Adam, Stefan Schneider and Marc Ostertag, transformed a coach house into a festival hall brimming with the most extraordinary music. The audience, though of course familiar with Beethoven, was treated to one of his lesser-known pieces; his Horn Sonata, whose forest-like qualities were masterfully demonstrated by the young soloists. The pianist, Viktoria Hirschhuber (far right in the picture), accompanied refreshingly and perfectly. She is a fantastic pianist who enchanted the audience with her magic, and we should expect to hear much more from her! Alexandra Muhr and Till Heine performed a bravura piece by Jean Francaix with the utmost joy, the highest level of refinement and contagious fun, effortlessly and with the greatest virtuosity. As a crowning finale, the musicians performed Beethoven’s Quintet for piano and winds. There was great joy under the beautiful roof of the carriage house, which was, on this glorious Sunday morning, again a shining, strong magnet, attracting fabulous musicians to under its roof.”, Florian Prey, singer and artistic director of “Gauting Summer Festival”.
