An electrifying Carmina Burana from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. It was fascinating to watch Diakun getting detail from her forces with sometimes minimal gesture, at times marking the beat with the baton in her right hand, the left at her face emphasising diction.

Diakun brought the ensemble together with a firm hand through its shifting moods and rustic, brooding lyricism and became an emotionally moving performance well received by the audience.

The wonder of performances awarded by public ovation.

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 director. Marzena Diakun: remember the name!

In addition, shortly before the end, she seduced the orchestra with a beautiful clarinet solo. You would expect that she could play her highest trumps in this orchestral music, but she led the orchestra in Chopin's First Piano Concerto in no less impressive way.

Conductor Marzena Diakun led the orchestra in an enthusiastic way and beautifully brought out the restless and stormy that lurks beneath the surface. 

Her sophistication, intelligence and musicality present in all her performances, made her a winner.
