"Tatiana Fraňová is a reliable and skilled artist with exquisite memory. Her exceptional physical ability - wide scope of hands – enables her to master even the most demanding piano pieces. Fraňová’s style appeals to the audience by its inner calm, sublime beauty, emotional contribution, shaded colours, sagacious building of lines and by efficient stressing of contrasting moods. The audience can trust her to get over even the most puzzling passages and embark on the musical voyage of beauty expressing the author’s intentions. These qualities make her also a partner highly sought-after for chamber music, since her inspiring inner calm encourages also the confidence in her partners." (Vladimír Čížik: Dictionary of Slovak Concert Art vol. I)
