19. March 1990
Elfi Aichinger in the spotlight: an unbelievable, sound-conscious voice that operates with ease in the most remote areas of dynamics and color, setting snappy scat singing alongside widely arching lines and incorporates a charming dose of theatricality without any clumsy, actionist bluff.
Der Standard (Ljubiš Tošic)
1991
A voice. A grand piano. Inside, outside, danger and passion. Sadness and movement. A chord flying for several hours, over valleys, widths and worlds. A sound, vocal sound gentle and piercing, penetrating, startling, carrying, lifting the silence, and giving it shape and ground. Elfi Aichinger's (first?) solo album is a gem.

Elfi Aichinger is back! It has been a while since the young composer and singer, classically trained at the Salzburg Mozarteum, appeared on the Austrian Jazz scene in the mid-1980s, where she was like a breath of fresh air, sweeping the genre with her easygoing, pleasure-oriented way of making music
