"Her expressiveness is lyrical and profound; her playing is imbued with deep inwardness. The modesty she projects on stage serves as the foundation for genuine dramatic intensity. Flawless vibrato control, mastery of tempo, and beautiful phrasing in the Franck recitatives... Her sound holds a certain "Old Europe" charm, combined with a sense of timeless truth."
Elsa Fottorino, Martha Kessel Media (orig. French)
“Der jungen armenischen Violinistin Diana Adamyan lieferte es einen sicheren Begleitservice in den zwei folgenden, von virtuosen Soloparts bestimmten Werken. Die „Zigeunerweisen“ von Pablo de Sarasate spielte die im Jahr 2000 in Jerewan geborene und in München bei Ana Chumachenco ausgebildete Solistin ohne Scheu vor dem großen Gefühl, schmachtend mit sattem, romantischem Ton und gezieltem Vibrato-Einsatz technisch brillant. Das Finale phrasierte sie in rasendem Tempo mit musikantischem Impetus blitzsauber, in der Stretta atemraubend gesteigert. Ihre kuriose Zugabe war der Satz „Recuerdos de la Alhambra“ von Francisco Tárrega, ein für Gitarre geschriebenes, in der Vielstimmigkeit auf der Violine artistisch schweres Stück.”

FAZ
“It would have been impossible to imagine a better soloist for Beethoven’s only violin concerto than the Armenian violinist Diana Adamyan. She has already won prestigious prizes in her international career and is one of the leading artists in her field. Gentle and sensitive, she brilliantly mastered even the difficult top notes, which fell crystal clear like stars from the sky. With modesty and restraint, she gave in to the request for an encore, played with incredible virtuosity... The audience waited in vain for more but she seemed to have gone. She will not, however, be forgotten.”

Volksblatt
“Diana Adamyan…thrilled the audience with a depth of tonal expression and command that one could only admire. She celebrated the Adagio movement with all the intimacy and passion of an operatic aria”

“Another highlight of the concert was the performance of the Diana Adamyan... She played even the most delicate piano notes with an unconditionality, as if every phrase was about everything for her.”
Darmstädter Echo
“A phenomenal young violinist...From the very first note of the Sibelius concerto, Adamyan played her way into the hearts of her audience with fervent passion. She possesses enormous technical skills, her intonation is perfect right up to the highest harmonics, and her dexterity is brilliant. In addition, she has the ability to draw great musical arcs, to work out the details meticulously without losing sight of the whole, to build up dramatic climaxes, to allow lyrical beauty to blossom - and all with a wonderfully varied tone... She plays with great passion, giving the emotion just the right space without allowing the music to slip into simplistic sentimentality. Her awareness of shaping and clearly contoured form never lets her down... Loud bravos mingled with the roaring, highly deserved final applause for a performance which most listeners will probably remember far beyond this evening.”
Göttinger Tageblatt
“The way she shapes the lyrical moments of the romantic virtuoso piece, with enormous intensity and confident phrasing, captivates the audience’s attention... Diana Adamyan seems to be playing primarily for herself - and it is a great privilege for the audience to be able to listen in.”
