Pianistka Renata Bielasova, profesorka brnenske konzervatore, se velmi uspesne prosazuje v nasem koncertnim zivote jako solistka i jako komorni hracka, a to v klavirnim duu se svym otecem, Milanem Bialasem. Tentokrat pripravila zajimavy a zasluzny projekt k vyroci brnenske autorky Vitezslavy Kapralove [1915-1940]. Nastudovala vsechna stezejni klavirni dila teto mladicke skladatelky a predklada nam je i na svem nejnovejsim CD. Narocnou Sonatu appassionatu, op. 6, ktera, ac ma jen dve vety, trva 19 minut, hraje Renata Bialasova s brilanci, nehou, vtipem, pochopenim ruznych nalad i patricnym vygradovanim vzrusenych ploch. Nejcasteji hranym klavirnim dilem vitezslavy Kapralove jsou jeji Dubnova preludia, op. 13, psana na jare 1937. Velmi jimave treti preludium leccos napovida, jinak v Preludiich prevlada az radostna hravost, byt jsou patricne dodrzeny vsechny zakony kontrastu. Proto asi je take tato skladba tak vdecna jak pro interprety, tak pro publikum. Skladba Variace na zvonkohru kostela St. Etienne du Mont by si zaslouzila stejne popularity jako Dubnova preludia; presvedciva a zjevne zaujata interpretace Renaty Bielasove privola mozna tuto skladbu casteji i na koncertni podia. Pariz, to bylo nejen oslneni prostredim, to byla i osobnost Bohuslava Martinu, k nemuz vazaly Kapralovou velmi uzke vztahy. Co tedy bylo prirozenejsiho, nez uzavrit CD osmi Preludii pro klavir Bohuslava Martinu! Ta navazuji na predchozi skladby tak nenapadne, ze nebyt typicky Martinuovskych postupu ve druhem preludiu, ani by clovek nepoznal zmenu autora. Inu spriznenost dusi! -- From a CD review by Vera Lejskova for Hudebni rozhledy 7 (2010).

Kdo jednou slysel klavirni hru proslule dvojice pianistu Bialasovych (otce Milana a dcery Renaty), toho nemuze nepritahnout k poslechu i solova klavirni hra na vynikajicim CD soucasne vyznamne interpretky klavirniho umeni Renaty Bialasove. [...] Dila V. Kapralove a B. Martinu fascinuji formou i brilantnim sarmem. A stejny sarm nachazime ve skvele interpretaci R. Bialasove...-- From a CD review of Kvetuse Lepilova for KAM (February 2011).
