„An artist of rare imagination. New exciting voice in European jazz.“
Peter Quinn, Jazzwise
“Wiesnerová lures you into this music of unsentimental intelligence, with her clear, beguiling tone…. Throughout this repertoire, warmth and affection abound, befitting the delicately amorous subjects of the songs. For her part the inimitable Wiesnerová breathes her way into this extraordinary music with imagination and infectious musicality.”
Raul da Gama, The Whole Note
“Ester comes through with some remarkable songs that obviously carry the same ornate and thoughtful compositions as the package that it comes in. These are very personal and introspective songs played by a well rehearsed band that seems to be very much in tune with Ester’s every thought and emotion.”
John Sanders, Jazz Music Archives
“A delicate jazz album which is sublime from beginning to end… there is no doubt she knows her mind and what she wants to achieve, and the result is something which is incredibly special indeed. Some of the music was improvised, others scored, and the result is an album which is very special indeed, modern yet timeless, delicate but with an inner strength and passion.”
Kev Rowland, House of Prog
