"Le Figaro" wrote about Stanislav Bunin's performance at the Marguerite Long International Piano Competition in 1983: "His performance of Schumann's "Kreisleriana" and Mozart's 23rd Concerto seemed to us like a happy moment, like an encounter with perfection". French critics called the young pianist who won the Grand Prix at this challenging competition "the most interesting musical individuality". "Schumann became very dear to me starting with the first piece I performed. I played many of his works: "Kreisleriana", "Arabesques", "Blumenstück", - says Bunin.
Two years later, still being a student of the Moscow Conservatory, Stanislav Bunin won the first prize at the Chopin International Piano Competition in Warsaw. Critics wrote that "Chopin's world is close to the pianist. His playing manner is extremely noble, tender, fiery. It is inspired and elegant".
