“Kaschenz is warm and expressive as her voice soars clearly and strongly to the high notes.
...Most importantly, Kaschenz and Attesti are a marvellous blend of talents, working together effortlessly. They are a charming couple whose enjoyment of music draws the audience into their world and enriches their appreciation of the classics.”
Lake City Journal, 28. Januar 2006

“A beautiful program; a difficult repertoire performed with extraordinary musical and vocal quality.
…. Annika Kaschenz sang an aria from Mozart‘s “Cosi fan tutte“ with Italian passion.
… she has extraordinary vocal qualities .... and showed the full range of her voice with Rosina from the „Barbiere di Siviglia“ by Rossini
Freyung - Grafenau (Germany), March 2006

“It was one of the best performances ever presented on our stage. A few audience quotes for you:
‘There was one piece as a duo in the first set when it seemed the audience applause exploded at the end of the number – very moving performance.’
‘You absolutely must bring them back! How did you get them here in the first place?’
‘We cried, that is how magnificent these talented, talented people are, we cried!’
Thanks again and BRAVO! on a spectacular performance.”
Gary Schuster
Director of the Menomonie Theatre (2006, Wisconsin, USA)

“Annika Kaschenz is a delightful and charismatic performer who is a pleasure to work with. She is modest, intelligent and responsive, and she is generous and thoughtful to her colleagues.
Annika possesses a voice that has a striking and beautiful timbre, and she sings with joy and verve. Hers is a beauty that radiates from within. With this combination of qualities, she is a ‘Star’ to watch.”

“In the past two years Annika Kaschenz has developed into a soloist of striking accomplishment and convincing authority. From the moment she appears onstage she radiates vivid energy and concentrated power. The voice is surprisingly voluminous, evenly calibrated throughout its extended range, and capable of rapid and accurate coloratura. She can be expressively dramatic and eloquent as needed.
She is a beautiful woman whose appearance is immediately arresting and this contributes to the appealing impression she makes with audiences and musicians alike.”
