Marta Danilkovich TV guest appearance in "Die Scheune" (SWR)

October 23, 2020 Interview, Marta Danilkovich

Marta played in the SWR documentary series Die Scheune, episode 3. It will be broadcast for the first time on October 23, 2020 Marta Danilkovich almost didn't become a musician. Like her parents, she had an ear infection at a young age. The parents were unlucky, they are both deaf. Marta, on the other hand, was treated in good time - and so she set out to become a musician. Originally from Belarus, she has been living in Germany for a few years and the talented violinist works musically around the world from here. She usually plays a Trapani violin, often six hours a day - the violin is like a part of the body. And as it is with humans: Every now and then something happens on the violin and has to be repaired. Alexandra Körner, violin maker from Mainz, takes on this project because she knows the violin and Marta well - and a relationship is important in this environment. Right in the barn, she can pull off the fingerboard, clean the violin and glue a small break. Will the violin sound like it did before?

Broadcast on Friday, October 23rd, 2020 9:00 p.m., Die Scheune, SWR television.

"The varied electric guitar sounds were emphasized in a special way by precise unison interplay with Marta's classical violin, proving that there is always something new to discover in fusion jazz, both in terms of world music and rock. Marta Danilovich skillfully alternates between violin and keyboard and also shines as a singer."

"Many of the numerous visitors said unanimously afterwards that it had been the best concert in this series so far. From the very first piece, there were repeated bravos...Marta Danilkovich was in no way inferior to this with her violin: she opened the evening as a soloist ... opened the evening spiritedly and brilliantly...The absolute highlight was her solo performance of "Music" by John Miles."

"A violinist in a jazz-rock formation! Naturally, he was the first to set the tone before handing over to Marta Danilkovich, who captivated the audience from the very first second with her violin playing - sometimes virtuoso with long bowed lines, sometimes staccato-like with short, almost painfully shrill chords."

"The sensation of the evening is Marta Danilkovich. "Welcome Marta": The violinist brings a stylistic diversity to the band's playing. Her CDs with recordings ranging from Bach and Vivaldi to Astor Piazzolla, Metallica and Marilyn Manson are on display at the merchandise stand, while on stage she enriches Autschbach's TA2 compositions with perfect intonation. Sometimes she plays the wild fusion intervals with the guitarist in unison, sometimes she thunders power chords on the G and D strings. And when she plays her extended solos in dialogue with Autschbach, her playing remains lyrical for all its virtuosity - a completely new color in fusion rock."

Rheinische Post - TA2: Fusion of electric guitar and violin

23.10.2023

"...the Belarus-born violinist Marta Danilkovich is an equal soloist in the string section alongside and with Autschbach. She is one of those artists who do not limit themselves to classical music. She also appreciates the "rhythmic grooves" of rock and pop as well as the excitement of metal."

Badische Zeitung

"Marta, however, can not only fascinate with her virtuoso, even unconventional violin playing, she switches "on the fly" to the keyboard or sometimes sets accents with her voice. Respect! She shines a bit like a crown of the whole, beautiful TA2 music creation."

"Marta Danilkovich elicited from her violin, among others, the "Prelude" from "Carmen", "Viva la vida" by Coldplay, Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and "Music was my first Love" by John Miles. Perfect in playing and professional in performance, she can definitely be placed in a row with her colleague David Garrett. As the female part of the "Duo Divites" the violinist has already played in New York's Carnegie Hall."

Giessener Anzeige 22.06.2021

“To the internationally award-winning Duo Divites. The violinists Vladimir Bodunov and Marta Danilkovich already played in the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York and in the Mozarteum in Salzburg ... The sides are plucked and crossed out, the tonal is interwoven with the atonal, in this polystylistic, furious sound kaleidoscope the alienation shimmers alongside the more familiar. A discovery! "

"Many of the numerous visitors then unanimously said that it had been the most beautiful concert in this series for them so far."

"Violinist Marta Danilkovich caused goose bumps in her sparkling evening dress"

(Heidenheimer Newspaper, 03.12.2019)

"She fills concert halls, people cheer for her, enchanted by her virtuosity on the violin. But Marta Danilokovich's greatest wish will never come true: that her parents can hear her one day."
