Reviews
Beautiful interpretations, soft and melancholy, reminding us of things forever lost, wantonly destroyed, and of hope extinguished. A violent process that still is omnipresent … (Plattentips)

Criticism and protest do not compete for attention; soft poetical laments, gradually arranged in subtle overtones only disclosing themselves to those willing to listen. (Salto)

“Sunset” is not a rabble-rousing accusation – rather a program reporting the causes and consequences of a conquest … efficiently shrillness is contrasted with beauty, sensitively the traces of oppressed cultures are made heard in the cultural heritage of the oppressors. (Alternative)

Christina Zurbrügg‘s successful vocal realization is quite impressive – a dignified musical homage. (Concerto)
