NINA ASSIMAKOPOULOS
CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"Assimakopoulos has not just perfect technique and total breath control but supreme intelligent, elegant phrasing; broad tone color; lyricism; a full range of dynamic expression; and above all STYLE that paints the differences from Bach to Bartok…”
- American Record Guide French (CD, Nina Assimakopoulos Live at the Sheldon) 2001

" A superb musician who plays with musical understanding, brilliant technique, and great intellect."
- Luba Edlina, pianist Borodin Trio

"A mature and brilliant artist who has a sovereign and superior command of her instrument."
- Paul Meisen, Germany
"Assimakopoulos guided this sonic world tour with genuine musicianship, excellent technique...and uncommon projection and richness of tone in the flute's lowest register....In this performance the only jury was the audience, and they showered Assimakopoulos with high marks in the form of hearty applause and a lengthy standing ovation."
- New York Concert Review, Carnegie Hall Debut 2000

"Impeccable intonation and superbly fluid flute playing...if one adds to those qualitites her radiant presence on stage, it is not difficult to understand why her St. Louis recital was a sensational success."
- Minoo Mehta, President Artist Presentation Society

- American Record Guide, Johnson (CD, Flute Impressions) 2002
