She is recording the work of a new composer which I think has a lot to do with the way that the music sounds but be sure to check her other videos on YouTube where she plays some more commonly known composers. I happen to think that she may be the best thing that has happened to classical music (violin) in a long time.

Well..It's a marketing, right? If no success as a "normal" violinist let's find something instead.. I think Karkowska (and her sister - manager) have found someone crazy enough to give them support. Anyway, it's going to be veeeery short term fame. Reason is simple - it sounds HORRIBLE and it has no background in musical science. Not even one excuse.
still improving english – welcome to correct me (on priv) :P

I wish this site took bets. I would clean up with Karkowska. 60,000+ hits on You
Tube ( and counting ) is not bad for this crazy lady.
The mystery is about the CD. Where/when is it ? I e-mailed her studio and they said they do not independently release info about clients. I bet that when and if there is a CD, it will be hard to find them in stock.
I have to declare her the best violinist of my lifetime. (She'll ditch the tsunami vibrato when it no longer serves a purpose. )

I just wonder one thing. If she would not add this horrid vibrato (because with this, I guess no academy would let her graduate), would she still be unique? Is there anything apart from this that displays a unique musicality and expression?
I have not heard her well...but I know that when people work hard to be different from others, they usually are pretty mainstream.

I am scared of her even when she plays "normally".
I wonder, can't one be unique without going THAT far nowadays? Because, she plays plainly horrible. I am sorry for my subjective opinion, but I doubt anybody listens to her because she plays wonderfully, rather only because she (with great technique) plays so differently. It is a bit like these guys who dress strangely on stage, or anything, just to get attention...
I think on the other hand, that she should go into metal/hard rock/whatever (new arrangements of classical pieces?), where she can sound like an electric guitar. That should suit her well.
