Concert reviews

Agus knew her solo role.  Full of spirit and melodic sense, her tone is refined and sensitive to nuance and she is capable of a bold flair at the right time.
Buffalo News

Before another word is said about the soloist, something bordering on extravagance must be accorded the pianist, Ayke Agus, for her accompaniments, which were nothing short of superb! Rarely does one hear a more precise and sensitive collaboration than she supplied--authoritative yet always subservient, crystal clear yet warmly blending, and of pinpoint accuracy in the timing.
Emporia [Kansas] Gazette

Agus, exceptionally fluent, graceful and accurate at the keyboard, is the sort of apparently easygoing, technically whiz-bang pianist, that other pianists talk about with awe.
Los Angeles Times

Agus was a standout, imparting a singing glow even in her scale passages.
Los Angeles Times

Agus displayed her abilities equally well on both piano and violin, expressive, full of brilliance when required.
Indonesia Post

The performance benefited from especially subtle and sensitive playing by Agus and an intensity level that rose as the work proceeded.
Los Angeles Times

Son jeu franc, au vibrato tonique, fait merveille dans le premier mouvement ou s'enonce la "petite phrase" enchassee d'harmonies subtiles qui charmait tant Swann.
La Liberte, Friebourg, Suisse

Ayke Agus, the justifiably admired Southern California pianist, joined the quartet for a happy traversal of Dvorak's Quintet in A, Opus 81. With abundant resources of plangent tone, effortless technique and collaborative skills, Agus is a wonderful pianist.
