What the Critics Say
THE WASHINGTON POST
Joanna Mądroszkiewicz
is an exciting violinist, technically brilliant, willing to take great risks
and able to justify them with her dazzling achievements.
BACH ALL SONATAS AND PARTITAS FOR VIOLIN
SOLO
(GRAMOLA 98752/53)
Kultur SPIEGEL
„BACH von ganzem Herzen…“
Many skilful violinists have exhausted themselves over this baroque marvel
of sound. However, the in Vienna living Polish artist does not get
intimidated by the cool polish of a Nathan Milstein or others. She is
following every turn of emotion up to harshness and exuberance of every
piece, passionately spontaneous and yet with a wonderful farsightedness: a
whole hearted Bach
KURIER (Vienna January 8, 2006)
REMARKABLE: Joanna Mądroszkiewicz plays a solo program and in Bach’s sonatas
and partitas demonstrates how transparent complex polyphony can be, if the
violinist can combine: clarity in handing the voices, sound colour,
technical mastery, tonal beauty and expressive power.

WEILL VIOLIN CONCERTO
DIE ILLUSTRIERTE NEUE WELT
The
violinist Joanna Mądroszkiewicz proved her musical and technical
capabilities in an outstanding way. A mere pleasure, to listen her in her
vitality, in the double touch passages, in the perpetual mobile chains of
semiquavers and demisemiquavers. In an unconventional way she put tender
poetic expression into that work too.
DIE PRESSE, (Vienna)
Already
in the wildly gesticulating first movement the soloist could bring light
into the dark of the composition with a highly different way of playing,
sometimes cunning, sometimes reflective. Finally there prevailed sparkling,
ingeniously played virtuosity. Violinist and ensemble (Vienna Philharmonic)
were cheered justly.

To her
technical accomplishments there appear to be no limits. Her intensity, her
multifarious means of expression, as well as the subtlety and beauty of her
tones testify to an outstanding personality.
DIE PRESSE (Vienna)
...That
is the way that music lives!
THE WASHINGTON POST
...The
ease with which she literally breezed through some of the most difficult
works in the violinist’s repertoire was almost awesome. Mądroszkiewicz put
together a program that obviously was intended to exploit her most
impressive quality, an amazing technical virtuosity.
WEST BLATT
In Joanna
Mądroszkiewicz’s artistic education and development there can followed a
line up to Hubermann who still had studied with Joseph Joachim, the decisive
Brahms promoter and one surmises where she can derive her particularity and
her profile form.

KLASSIK heute
Wieniawski, Polonaise brillante
(MDG, 603 0863-2)
...Wieniawski’s fellow country woman meets all the demands of this virtuoso
music more than well, she performs enthusiastically and take her chances,
but at the same time technically perfect... stylistically she is committed
to the great violinists of old, who still had an authentic relationship to
Wieniawski’s music... Fancy food for friends of virtuoso music for violin!
CHOPIN, arrangements by…

What can do the violinist who wants to play Chopin? Outstanding violinist
Joanna Mądroszkiewicz plays together with Paul Gulda Chopin’s Waltzer and
Mazurkas with elegance and virtuosity, Nocturnes are dark pieces with a
colour of sad and gloomy night worthwhile!
