"Erst durch die praktische Umsetzung des Notentextes lebt Musik: Wenn sich der Interpret in die Gedankenwelt des Komponistes wunderbar einfindet, erlebt der Zuhoerer hoesten Genuss. Zu diesem Erlebnis kamen die Zuhoerer des Konzerts der Darmstaedter Chopin_Gesellschaft im Kennedy-Haus. Die junge litauische Pianistin Sviese Cepliauskaite begeisterte mit ihrem durchdachten, emotionalen Spiel."

Daniela Goebel. "Darmstaedter Echo", 18 05 1998

"Die Kuenstlerin aus Litauen zeigte alle Attribute einer virtuosen Pianistin. Sie begeisterte durch einen sehr schoenen Klang... Hoehepunkt des Abends war die Tarantella von F. Liszt, die mit taenzerischen Rhythmen durch ausgezeichnete Technik fast aus dem Klavier sprang..."

M. Lukaszczyk. "Wormser Zeitung”", 17 09 1998

"Š. Čepliauskaitė’s performance is always distinguished by her perfect technique and the high respect shown to the author of the piece. When she plays, we hear not a pretentious performer, who blow high, blow low, wants to affirm her individuality, but a pianist, who first of all conveys the style of the piece, its subtleties: lines, phrasing, dynamics, an adequate manner of hitting the sound."

Alina Ramanauskienė. "Kauno diena", 25 09 1997

"By her sultry, virtuoso and artistic performance the soloist Šviesė Čepliauskaitė has convincingly revealed all of the vitality, dynamic colours, the variety of tempers concealed in the simple, but meaningful music of Grieg."

Dalia Raudonikytė. "Muzikos barai", June 1998

"Š. Čepliauskaitė is a performer of a rational type, distinguished by good technique, artistic taste and able to construct and convey clearly the visions of dramaturgical lines in the pieces she plays."

Saulius Gerulis. "Muzikos barai", June 1999

"In Šviesė's performance we heard a more lively, human and therefore more attractive Chopin, not the sweetened poet or the spiritual martyr, as he is often presented to listeners… By cleverly combining and grouping waltzes Šviesė managed to keep equilibrium between the bravura and melancholy, between the salon taste and moderation. I would like to point out the pianist's impeccable technique, precise performance of tiny flourishes without drowning, however, in details, but by preserving the breath of phrases and the sense of the whole piece (form)."
