Opinions & Critics

One of the world’s best conductors of the young generation: Marzena Diakun.

Elżbieta Krajewska, May 2015
Her musicality is exceptional and based upon solid scholarship paired with fine instinct. I would rate her at the very top five percentile of her profession.

Richard Rosenberg
Marzena Diakun pays it justice, we hold our breath, and we test the acoustics of the newly renovated auditorium… A long applause from the audience, and from the orchestra for the young assistant director. Marzena Diakun: remember the name!

Alain Cochard, November 2015
A superb interpretation, not attributed to the musical director ‘Mikko Franck’, not present for personal reasons, but due to his assistant director, the Polish conductor Marzena Diakun.

Marc Vignal, November 2015
The wonder of performances awarded by public ovation.

Le dauphine libere, 2016
A beautiful Polish woman, the hope of the world’s orchestral conducting.

Polish Radio, Programm II, 2012
Her sophistication, intelligence and musicality present in all her performances, made her a winner.

Gramophone, January 2013
