Kadri Voorand is a people person. … Whether playing piano, violin or thumb piano the audience were hanging on her every note and when asked to join in the audience sang as one.

This stirring together of jazz, folk and pop, with thoughtful arrangements from these distinctive musicians, takes you, for a while, off into another world.

Piano, kalimba, violin, loop machines, and mixing console – what requires a whole band for others, Kadri Voorand masters as a solo entertainer in the best sense.

… expressive as ever, with rousing, highly entertaining moments…

Voorand's interpretations ranged from whispers, jests and romantic murmurs to smooth, intimate storytelling. Even untranslated language was clear.

On stage she is not just a presence, but an experience. … What makes her performances such an experience has a lot to do with her voice – not only how she sings, but how she speaks.
