 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
"Assimakopoulos has a
dramatic sense of pacing...from beginning to end she changes styles
freely and remains in control of what she is doing musically."
- American Record Guide, Johnson (CD, Flute Impressions) 2002
"Assimakopoulos...has a
beautiful tone and plays expressively..."
- Flute Talk Magazine,
