Es ist ein für Sørensen typisches Werk, ein musikalisches Zeugnis seiner ungezügelten Fantasie
Remy Franck, Pizzicato
Rasmussen’s music utterly transcends the local – he is without question a major Scandinavian figure
Richard Hanlon, Music Web International
Signe Asmussen is a singer who especially understands the composer's personal language - here a Jacob Davidsen who speaks in simple terms, flimsy scale models and with almost Anton Webernsk scarcity
Gregers Dirckinck-Holmfeld, Gregers DH
Het is zonder meer fascinerend om te horen hoe Madsen de klanken van de beide instrumenten hier met elkaar verweeft tot een harmonisch geheel
Ben Taffijn, Nieuwe Noten
A rich CD in every way that you will often return to
Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad

The hint as an instrument is typical of Sørensen's way of expressing himself, and here it is extensively cultivated, so that one can curiously find some fine dust to pick up in the retrieval
Valdemar Lønsted, Information
It is glorious Danish romance of the character that evokes the atmosphere of the Danish Golden Age in the almost suggestive way
Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad
Excellentment interpretadas per Aldubáran
Josep Bosch, Sonograma
Una produzione discografica tanto interessante quanto coinvolgente, con solisti e compagine orchestrale di primo livello, che confermano la grande vitalità della musica danese contemporanea
Filippo Focosi, Kathodik
Pieces that sound like their titles 'Fanfare Lontane' - Remote Fanfare - 'Andalag' - Breath of Melodies
Gregers Dirckinck-Holmfeld, Gregers DH
The orchestral movement evokes a magical dream world where the solo instrument is the heroic essence of the adventure
Martin Nyström, Dagens Nyheter
Each piece has its own feeling and character. This is a wonderful album, highly recommended
Lynn René Bayley, The Art Music Lounge
There are close connections between these professional musicians and Sunleif Rasmussen, and it is a CD full of Faroese vibe at all
Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad
Andsnes is probably classically educated, but he plays with a nice, jazzy touch; Fröst appears as a totally virtuoso innovator of the classic scene; and Helseth as an open and innovative experimental interpreter
