Paganini's 24 Caprices
"To make your veins and wrists tremble, the idea of facing all 24 Capricci by Niccolo Paganini in one concert [with no intermission] … Impervious task, not only for the absolute technical domination
that it already presupposes, but also for the very wide spectrum."

Press & Reviews
"Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in D minor thus begins with bouncy Bachian rhythms, followed by rapid passages, leaps and chords, mastered effortlessly by the evening's soloist Nikolay Madoyan. In the subsequent lyrical Andante, full of Mendelssohnian tonal magic, Madoyan clearly demonstrated his interpretive ability. Also, In the third movement, an Allegro in a casual gavotte style, the soloist mastered the swift tempos and cadences with brilliant elegance and exceptional technical skill."
"Born in 1973, the Armenian violinist Nikolay Madoyan gives pleasing and refined performances… The tender moments of Mozartian grace in the 1820 Sonata are perfectly captured…"
"Of the two performances under review, …Nikolay Madoyan, a highly gifted product of Zachar Bron's school in Novosibirsk, has a natural feel for the right inflexion… his is the more thought-provoking. …This Kontrapunkt's CD is a good one and will not disappoint those who are attracted by the programme."
"Nikolay Madoyan conquered the hearts of his listeners with the Chaconne from Bach's violin partita in D minor. The playing of this young Armenian is characterized by brilliant technique paired with the beauty of sound."
