In 2003 there was published the scores of the Symphonic suite by K.Kornienko on P.Tchaikovsky ballet «The Nutcracker» "Among the great number of young pianists, Karen Kornienko stands out as having start quality with a combination of qualities that are rarely concentrated in one performer The-peculiartty of his performance is high professionalism, virtuosity, intuition, a diverse and polyphonic sound palette, sense of style, and, at the same time, deep musicality and spirituality."
Professor A. Nasedkin, People's Artist of Russia. "I know the pianist Karen Kornienko, as a great creative artist and a vivid performer. All he performs compels the listener. His artistic talent shows a very wide scale of thinking. As an artist he is seen first of all as a romanticist. His hands easily master technical difficulties many of which are practically insuperable for others, and yet he conveys a free, natural sound. For example, the 24 Etudes-by Chopin were learned and performed in recitals over a 12-month period as if they fell naturally under his hands. But we should not set limits on the spectrum of his talents simply as a performer of remantic music Karen Kornienko is also a talented composer and this brings other specific gifts to his potential career. He surpasses traditional boundaries and promises to be one of the exceptional artists of the future".
Professor V. Gomostaeva, People's Artist of Russia. "Karen Kornienko is a concert pianist of outstanding talent, a brilliant interpreter arid virtuoso".
Profesor.V. Merzhanov, People's Artist of the USSR.
