Mami received a five-star review for her solo CD in the latest edition (July/September 2014) of Musical Opinion.
“Another outstandingly recorded CD from Claudio Records, containing excellent performances by this very gifted young Japanese pianist, particularly of the Brahms Sonata – a titan of the solo piano repertoire but one of which Ms Shikimori has the full measure. Hers is a deeply impressive account, and her playing of the fiendishly difficult solo piano version of Ravel’s La Valse is also brilliantly successful.”
