@Festival de Ideas, Madrid playing Bach

Just finished the recordings for a new CD made by  IBS Classical with pieces of Richard Strauss, Ottorino Respighi and Manuel Ponce



Richard Strauss, Madrid

The young German faced a program that was a real miracle 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 tuning and exquisite sensitivity in its expression."

Scherzo - Revista música clásica



Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, Madrid

The beautiful sound of concertmaster Valerie Steenken especially shone in this formidable fragment. The young German showed off once again her exquisite precision in tuning, beautiful nuances and impeccable line of expression."

Scherzo - Revista música clásica



Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, Granada

Valerie Steenken, who standing up, wonderfully interpreted the fifth voice that Beethoven left written for the violin. The violinist developed a beautiful counterpoint with the singers, sublimely fused with the choral parts."

Ritmo



Lyrische Sinfonie, Zemlinsky, Madrid

At the top, the various solos of the concertmaster Valerie Steenken (what a success the signing of this very young violinist), who drew with impeccable success and beautiful sound her committed solos in the second, fourth, sixth and seventh movements."

Scherzo - Revista música clásica



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."

Granada Hoy



Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, Granada

...which was followed by the advent of the Spirit in the form of a delicate violin solo performed by the young Munich concertmaster Valerie Steenken accompanied by the sound of the flutes, which gave the impression that the Paraclete (Saviour) came down from heaven, leaving the listener with the imprint of the best essence of Beethoven's last creative period in which he lavished a truly supernatural calm and tranquility."



29/06/2024 José Antonio Cantón



Codalario La Revista Musica



Missa Solemnis, Beethoven, Madrid

The exceptional concertmaster Valerie Steenken was the highlight in this part."
