Her performance impresses the audience by spirituality, sincerity, deep emotions. The pianist actively promotes the music of contemporary composers. Thoughtfully and deeply understanding of the culture, she performed in Bishkek my piano composition, sonata, chamber piece, including “Manas – Sonata” for violin and piano.

«Gulchekhra Inoyatova performed a number of my works, solo and ensemble, such as “Shahnameh-suite” for Piano, Suite “Dedication to Hafiz” for two Pianos, vocal cycle “Ashaglon” for two soloists and piano, etc. In her work on the piece, Gulchekhra Inoyatova primarily seeks to understand the author’s intention. She can be charcterized by the instant grasp of the essence, style, details of the work. One day, while working on the series “Ashaglon”, I was struck by how she determined the outcome of the plot only by one tonality, without even knowing the content. Each time, depending on the content and nature of the work or its part, Inoyatova can completely change the sound of the instrument, the powerful, “orchestral” in epic parts, and quiet, “lonely” in the lyrical “Shahnameh-Suite”, chamber, “watercolor” in suite “Dedication to Hafiz ” and luscious, folklore-bright in the cycle “Ashaglon”. Excellent technique every time serves the aim of disclosing the ideas and images of the composition…»- Lola Tolis

“Gulchekhra Inoyatova combines two rare today qualities: of professional performer and bright artist-interpreter of piano music, from classical to contemporary, from miniatures to the largest solo concertos with the orchestra. Performance of my first piano concerto with symphony orchestra by Professor Inoyatova contributed to the recognition of this concerto by the foreign critics as one of the most successful works of the piano genre. In addition, her interpretation enabled to keep the author’s intention, the national spirit and ornament of the composition and to turn recording process into a musical event”.- Alisher Latif-zade

“Professor Inoyatova’s perfomance impressed me deeply. First, her playing is characterized by her ability to get to the very core of the music, her imagination and creativity. She managed to express vividly the rich emotional idea of the piece. Second, she has very sophisticated playing technique. Her low key if very powerful, the sound is strong, with typical features of Russian music school style; the strength of the magnitude’s change can be large, weak but clear, strong but not explosive, especially crescendo weakening control, delicate color changes and the musical levels are very clear. Third, she has a unique and precise sense of structure. Such a creative solution for my composition is entirely dependent on Professor Inoyatova’s profound artistic accomplishment and sense of music structure. My music piece performed by Inoyatova got the First Prize in National Theoretical Composition Competition for University Professional Teachers.”- Hechu Guo
