"This is a very important disc. He [Cernadas] is a terrific pianist, I take my hat off."
"Scriabin’s music is all of this, and Cernadas understands it as few others. I had, to my shame, not heard of this pianist before - but I place him directly in a line of Scriabin interpreters such as Igor Zhukov, Dmitri Alexeev, Dimitri Ashkenazy, and perhaps even—dare I say it - the great Vladimir Horowitz" Luister (Netherlands)
"Cernadas can be delicate and sensual, but he also convinces with original articulation and a pronounced penchant for rubato and dynamic variations. His bold imagination never bores the listener."
"I have been very favourably impressed: Cernadas both understands this music and has the technique to play it. He writes his own notes with many interesting ideas about the works. Scriabin enthusiasts who are interested in an alternative to Marc-André Hamelin or Dmitri Alexeev should consider this."

"Cernadas delivers fiery and exciting playing, with a particularly beautiful and colourful transition from the slow movement into the finale. Cernadas delivers a truly intense, mysterious and powerful rendition of the Ninth Sonata. The way he pedals the opening motif creates a hazy, enigmatic aura that contrasts vividly with the intensity of the music that follows."

"His virtuosity (some of the passages are among the most demanding in the piano literature), as well as his interpretive intelligence (choice of tempi, rubatos, dynamic control, etc.) and his affinity with the composer's universe, result in a significant recording event that deserves the utmost attention from any music lover or Scriabin devotee."
"Cernadas maintained a strong level of playing that is good as those put out earlier by better-known, established pianists. Which I mean as a compliment! He holds his own."
