“Alone that was unsurpassable quality, that was the finest art of playing the violin. ...
And even Richard Strauss’ almost symphonic early sonata was mastered so
grippingly that one would have loved to hear this interpretation time and time again.”
Cellesche Zeitung

“The plethora of variations of the Ciaccone gained, played by violinist Carolin Widmann,
who has beforehand mastered the C major sonata with control and fire, a measure
of intensity and inner tension that would be undisclosed by most of the ‘violin girlies’
of the present.” Süddeutsche Zeitung

“She is young, beautiful and she plays the violin. These are not yet traits that would
make her an exception. ...But when we heard her in Hitzacker where she was awarded
the Belmont Prize for Contemporary Music, we were convinced that this young lady is
a chamber musician on an exceptional level with a great future!” Ensemble Magazine

“With effortless mastership...an amazingly broad range of colours.” Fränkischer Tag

“This is how highlights sound.” Coburger Tagblatt

“...an obviously mature musical personality with enormous charisma.”Südkurier

“Carolin Widmann played Bach’s d minor partita for violin solo with total inner passion.
Clear and brilliant was her sound, powerful her bow arm and intense her interpretation.”
Märkische Oderzeitung

“...with a spirit of fire...There was electricity in the air.” Le Soir, Brussels

“She proves enthusiasm, imagination and eloquence which attest to a rich
personality...She knows how to sing on her violin and how to conduct melodies.”
La Libre Belgique
