How is it possible to write a fugue for solo violin and how is it possible to play such a work? Well it needs someone like Bach to write it and someone like Agnieszka Marucha to play it; the result – a triumph on both counts.

Agnieszka Marucha, a young polish player clearly destined for an important career. Stojowski´s Sonata may sound more French than polish, but when played as sensitively and persuasively as this it makes you wonder why it hes been gathering dust these many years.

Agnieszka Marucha displays a flawless technique and a very noble sound. Her playing is very cultured with a beautiful cantabile.

Marucha’s virtuosic performance succeeds in convincing the listener that they are indeed hearing a masterpiece. Her rich tone is so beautiful, her playing so musical and her cantabile so lyric that she can be easily described as the Maria Callas of the violin.

Stojowski leaves you in no doubt of his vaunting confidence. The leaping lyrical romantic stride of his Violin Sonata No. 2 is struck from the same precious metal as the sonatas by Delius, Foulds, Korngold and Dunhill. His leonine aureate romanticism flows like lava but he can also draw on reserves of poetic passion surgingly sustained yet slowly released as in the Arietta. He is not averse to a chuckling good humour either as in the emphatic Allegro giocoso finale with its contrasting reserves of striving passion. Both Marucha and Schmid give this their all.

Agnieszka Marucha delivered the Largo from the C major Sonata with remarkable rich-toned elegance. It is always amazing just how wonderfully broad and expansive these pieces of music can be when performed by the finest players. There is nothing stinted or mean about them.

Pieces by Henryk Wieniawski, Karol Szymanowski, Ignacy Paderewski, Władysław Żeleński, Zygmunt Noskowski performed by the Polish Duo were warmly applauded by the audience, The violinists‘ wonderfully virtuosic and colourful playing was perfectly complemented by the pianist. One could be amazed by the quality in which the two performers passed between eachother the many contrasting emotions in the music, ranging from drammatic culminations to lyrical sections full of sadness and longing.We witnessed really creative renditions of what the composers laid down on paper long ago.

The violinist produced a rich tone, displaying an impressive technique beleying her age. The Brahms was especially moving. In the last two the violinist displayed a great affinity with her conpatriots.
David Johason, Brancaster News, 30. 06. 2002
Szymanowski's works were the best. They were full of energy and virtuosity. The artist demonstrated an excellent technique.
Gazeta Wyborcza, 4.IV.2000
Agnieszka Marucha's performance of J.S. Bachs d-minor partita turned out to be a rendition worth remembering. A true performance.

At the first place I would distinct prime award winners: Agnieszka Marucha and Wojciech Jasiński. Their interpretation of "Myths" by Karol Szymanowski was worthy of the best concert halls.
