"... the contest saved the best till last in the form of Šroubková, who was the only candidate to perform the Chinese work from memory..." (Strad, December 2018)


"Druhou huslistkou-sólistkou bola Olga Šroubková, ktorá sa na koncerte skutočne predstavila v tom najlepšom svetle. Krásny zvučný tón maximálne využila v prospech interpretovaných skladieb (Koncertu e mol RV 273 a h mol RV 390), hrala s prirodzenou energiou, očarila plastickosťou fráz, bravúrou v ozdobách, všetko podčiarkla adekvátnou prácou s dynamikou. Obzvlášť ma zaujalo Largo koncertu e mol RV 273, ktoré bolo v jej podaní až dojemné."

"The other soloist - violinist was Olga Šroubková, who really presented herself in the best light at the concert. She made the most of the beautiful sonorous tone in favor of the interpreted compositions (Concerto in E minor RV 273 and Concerto in B minor RV 390), played with natural energy, enchanted with the plasticity of phrases, bravura in ornaments, underlined everything with adequate work with dynamics. I was especially charmed by the Largo - second movement of the Concerto in E minor RV 273, which was really touching in her performance.

"Für die hoffnungsvolle Nachwuchsgeigerin Olga Šroubková, die zahlreiche internationale Wettbewerbserfolge vorweisen kann, liess es glücklichen Spielraum zur Entfaltung virtuoser Qualitäten..." 

"For the promising young violinist Olga Šroubková, who can boast numerous international competition successes, it left plenty of scope for the development of virtuoso qualities..."

"Olga Šroubková, die junge tschechische Geigerin, aufsehenerregend unter den Nachwuchstalenten, wird in ihrem Passagen behutsam getragen vom Orchesterklang..."  "Olga Šroubková, the young Czech violinist, startling among the young talents, is gently worn in her passages from the orchestral sound..." 

(Bad Homburger Schlosskonzerte, September 2020)


"Als Šroubková danach die sehr expressive "Ballade" des belgischen Geigers und Komponisten E. Ysaÿe vorstellte, wären eigentlich Bravorufe angemessen gewesen - selbst technisch sehr anspruchsvolle Episoden spielte sie so leicht und nuanciert, dass man ihrem virtuosen Spiel stundenlang hätte zuhören können."                                                                   "As Šroubková afterwards performed the very expressive "Ballade" from the belgian violinist and composer E. Ysaÿe, there were lots of "bravo" shouts audible - she actually played technically very demanding passages with such easiness and nuanced, that one could be listening to her virtuoso playing for hours." (Bocholter Volksblatt, March 2020)

"Šroubková seems to be a big-picture musician who understands that mastery is a prerequisite to making music while also meeting the considerable demands of a piece such as the Tchaikovsky." (Strad, October 2018)
