- CHAINDLK Webzine / Interview / USA
"In a relatively short span of time, the brilliant Kazhak composer, pianist and singer Angelina Yershova released two great albums, “Piano’s Abyss” and its ideal sequel “Resonance Night,” (both labeled by Twin Paradox) two sonic gems in which she developed her interesting and deeply introspective aesthetics.." (Vito Camaretta)

SILENCE AND SOUND / Review / France
"Once again, Angelina Yershova proposes a complex work beyond forms, drawing on the legacy of schools to juxtapose them majestically in a succession of titles with timeless beauty, where beauty and intelligence rhyme with creativity. Magic." (Rolando Torres)
- AMUSIO / Interview / Germany
"Die aus Kasachstan stammende Pianistin, Komponistin, Dirigentin und – auch – elektronische Musikerin Angelina Yershova veröffentlicht im Februar mit Resonance Night (Twin Paradox) ein Album, auf dem sie erneut eigentümliche Wege beschreitet, um dem Klavier ungeahnte Klänge abzuringen. Und um dabei akustische Atmosphären zu erschaffen, die sich der Koinzidenz von technischer Emphase, bildhafter Assoziation und gewagten Timbre verdanken. Im Gespräch erläutert die Wahlrömerin nicht zuletzt, wie es ihr gelingt, ihre immens neugierige Veranlagung auf finite Zielsetzungen zu kaprizieren."
- ROCKERILLA / Review + Interview / Italy
"Basta il primo accordo per tuffarsi completamente nell’universo conturbante costruito dalla compositrice Angelina Yershova nel suo ultimo lavoro discografico, Resonance Night. L’elettronica serpeggia sinuosa tra accordi che sanno di jazz esotici e improvvisazioni che echeggiano amori lontani. Ci si ferma subito estasiati ad ammirare l’intensità dello sguardo della pianista kazaka (First Stop 389 Hertz), prima di perdersi tra glissando e glitch che odorano di nottate passate a ricordare le stelle di un cielo lontano. Non c’è stile che contenga l’esuberanza creativa della Yershova, capace di donare qualità pop anche a musiche che nascono da una sensibilità accademica.." (Roberto Mandolini)
- MUSIC MAP / Review / Italy
"Angelina Yershova conferma la sua straordinaria creatività e la sua sensibilità verso una sperimentazione mai esagerata o fine a sé stessa, confezionando un disco che diventa la naturale prosecuzione del percorso avviato con “Piano’s Abyss” e che promette risultati altrettanto brillanti." - CHAINDLK Webzine / Review / USA
“The core of “Resonance Night” is an instrumental piano album, around which is built a very high-end electronica production full of sharp digital noises and sampled breathing. There’s a strong emphasis on melodic leads, often sparse rather than lyrical, some catchy, some improvised.” (Stuart Bruce)
- Music Won't Save You Blog / Review / Italy
"..il pianoforte della Yershova è, in “Resonance Night”, ben diverso da quello dei tanti interprete di un mero minimalismo incentrato sullo strumento. Ciò si deve in parte al suo approccio “totalizzante”, che non solo ne coglie elementi dinamici, vibrazioni e rumori meccanici, ma li traduce in linguaggi elettronici variamente (de)strutturati.” (Raffaello Russo)
- EXPRESS K Magazine / Interview / Kazakhstan
"Любителей экспериментальной музыки радует новость о выходе нового альбома «Resonance Night» казахстанско-итальянского композитора, пианиста, продюсера и специалиста по новейшим звуковым технологиям Ангелины Eршовой. Информация об этом представлена в ряде мировых СМИ и, без преувеличения, является предметом обсуждения среди ценителей определенного музыкального формата во многих странах." (Erzhan Oralbekov)
- The Sound Projector Music Magazine / Review / USA
"What’s most striking about all this is – more than the substantial technical ability on show – that producers like Yershova seem so at ease incorporating compositional devices and techniques that have proven obstinate to even more adventurous of listeners over the last century." (Stuart Marshall)
- MUSIKANSICH / Review / Germany
"Und so setzt sich das Album fort mit kürzeren, ambienten Soundcollagen und den songorientierteren Kompositionen, dominiert vom Piano und umrahmt von diesen interessanten elektronischen Soundlandschaften."
- DISTORSIONI Webzine / Review / Italy
"Resonance Night metabolizza stili e linguaggi in un corpo unico ponendosi in una terra di confine difficile da definire ma nel quale Angelina Yershova riesce a coniugare la sperimentazione con un appeal non indifferente." (Aldo De Sanctis)

NIEUW NOTEN / Review / Holland
"Angelina Yershova is het type musicus dat graag muzikale grenzen overschrijdt en klassiek en elektronica op succesvolle wijze aan elkaar verbindt. Haar nieuwe album 'Resonance Night' is hier het bewijs van. (Ben Taffin)
- LOOP / Review / Spain
"Este disco muestra como la elegancia del piano hace una perfecta simbiosis con los sonidos transformados y retorcidos." (Guillermo Escudero)
- TOPERIODICO Magazine / Review / Greece
"The vibrations of the strings, the mechanical sounds of pedals and hammers are electronically processed, deformed, resulting in a completely different sound from the classic instrument, full of pace and unpredictable dynamics!
- AFRICANPAPER / Review / Germany
"Angelina Yershova, deren voriges Album „Piano’s Abyss“ ich vor kurzem vorgestellt habe, verfeinert seit einigen Jahren ihren hybriden Stil als Komponistin, Pianistin und Studiofrau." (Uwe Schneider)
- BLACKAUDIO Music Blog / Review
"There is a strength in creating something that manages to grab emotion from the claws of nonsense; and Angelina plays with the two in equal measure." (Tony Young) - POLIPHONIA Music Blog / Review / Poland
