Mozart Violin Concerto Nr. 3,
Auditorio Nacional

"Her interpretation of Mozart arrived with enviable confidence and poise, elegance, a beautiful tone, impeccable intonation, and articulation of great clarity. Rich in nuances and accents, meticulous in her handling of appoggiaturas, and fully engaged during the opening and closing tutti sections of the movements—something not many soloists do nowadays, even though it was standard practice in the past and is explicitly prescribed in the score."

Scherzo

Richard Strauss, Madrid

“The young German faced a program that was a real challenge for her debut, with solos in all the pieces of the program. And it must be said immediately that its presentation could hardly have been better: wonderful sound, precise intonation and exquisite sensitivity in its expression."

Scherzo

Hindemith, Ravel, Madrid

"...the strings shone led by violinist Valerie Steenken as concertmaster..."

Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, Granada

“Valerie Steenken's solo violin part, executed with a lyricism that evoked peace and transcendence, was one of the highlights of the performance."
