“(…) In his interpretations the pianist brings out the mood. In Étude No. 2 he rocks the listener with the unsettling calm of the sea, and in Étude No. 7 with the rhythm of a funeral march. Witek navigates the technical labyrinths of the études with ease. Nor does he charge ahead with tempo — he simply allows the sounds to breathe. His reading of Szymanowski’s sonata strikes a similar note. One hears thinking in themes, in melodic line. The lyricism of the calm — though shot through with passion — Adagio and the atmospheric minuet interlace with the virtuosity of the finale. In the fugue, bristling with contrasts of expression, the artist plays with a lush, full-bodied tone and is plainly unafraid of interpretive impetuosity.”

“(…) The showcase of talent was closed by Przemysław Witek, a 24-year-old pianist from Wałbrzych studying in Poznań. He played Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major. A noble tone, a pearly technique, the ability to shape musical narrative (very well-built tension in the middle movement of the G major Concerto) suggest that this young pianist will soon take his place as a regular on our concert platforms.”

“It was also with great joy that I welcomed Przemysław Witek back to the platform — over the course of a few years he has grown into a mature, fully formed artist. This is evident not only in his thoughtful and balanced sound, but also in his mature approach to the architecture of a work. (…) A soloist (…) of an artistic maturity which, combined with innate musicality and technical fluency, may yet bear beautiful artistic fruit.”

“Przemysław Witek came to Zakopane on the invitation of the cycle ‘The Zakopane Academy of Art and Its Guests’. Marek Markowicz had persuaded him to give the recital, but sadly the artist did not get the chance to meet him. He dedicated the recital to him. The young pianist’s concert was received by the audience with great enthusiasm. Splendid performances of works by Fryderyk Chopin, Franz Liszt, Karol Szymanowski and Mily Balakirev drew prolonged applause. Encores were inevitable.”
“The people of Wałbrzych flocked to Książ for the concert promoting the 2nd Princess Daisy International Chamber Music Festival. The Maximilian Hall was packed. At the piano sat a young man from Wałbrzych — Przemysław Witek. The music rang out — Chopin, Liszt… And when the last notes had died away, I felt a pang of regret that this was already the finale, one that not even an encore could quite sweeten.”

“Among other repertoire rarities, mention should be made of Balakirev’s formidably difficult Islamey, with which the youngest of the participants of the Young Artists’ Platform, Przemysław Witek of Poznań, distinguished himself, also receiving the special Tadeusz Żmudziński Prize for his performance of Karol Szymanowski’s Variations in B♭ minor.”
