Newspaper review:
„Alexandra Mak, in den Tradition der Russischen Geigenschule überraschte nicht nur mit ihrem technische anspruchsvollen Vortrag, sondern brachte ihre Geige zum singen. Deren samtener voller Ton unterstrich den Ausdruckscharakter…“
Badener Zeitung Feb. 2004.
"Greifbar wird das innige gegenseitige Verstehen im Ensemble beim Hauptwerk des Abends: Vivaldis..Jahreszeiten". Für den Solopart wurde die russische Geigerin Alexandra Mak vom Beethoven Konservatorium in Wien verpflichtet. Im vierten Monat schwanger, gab die erfahrene, in allen Griffarten und bei jedem Temoo souveräne Virtuosin trotz dem alles. Ihre Interpretation mit jähen Rubati und wuchtigen Bogenstrichen braucht jedoch sensible Begleitung." Süddeutsche Zeitung 26 Jänner 2008.
