Lazar Berman called Nadejda's talent “God-given”; Maestro Hans Graf observed that “her musicality and the depth of her interpretation amazed me.” She has performed internationally, giving solo recitals in Bulgaria, Russia, Slovakia, Hungary, The Netherlands, Germany, England, Spain, Barbados, Canada and the United States. She has played as a soloist with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Capella Istropolitana in Slovakia, the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Wroclaw Philharmonic, and with various other orchestras throughout the world. Ms. Vlaeva has also appeared with notable success on radio and television in several countries.
  
Included among her major awards are the First Prize at the Liszt competition in Lucca, Italy, the Third Prize at the International Liszt Competition in Budapest, and the Yamaha Award for the best interpretation of Brahms, in Weimar. Her second CD, Piano Music of Liszt, was released on the MSR Classics label and won the International Grand Prix "Liszt" du Disque. Previous winners include Pollini, Brendel, Kocsis, Cziffra, Bernstein, and Solti. Her most recent CD, Bach Transcriptions by Camille Saint-Saens and Isidor Philipp, was released by Hyperion in October 2011 and selected by BBC Music Magazine as their Instrumental Choice of the month.
