The petite singer, whose mother is from Yemen and father comes from Vienna, had the crowd under control after five minutes: misty, sexy voice in the middle layers, clear in the upper layers - in addition effectively styled gestures and the smile of the Mona Lisa [...]
Basler Zeitung
Nothing about this fusion seems fake, even older Jewish concert visitors sense it as a poignant interpretation of their Lord's Prayer. The younger audience, which knows Timna Brauer from the jazz scene (in 1988 she performed on the same evening as M. Davis and H. Hancock at Montreux) and has no affinity for the Jewish tradition, celebrate the same song because of it's exciting musical combination.

Timna Brauer does certainly not solely have to do with her profound classical voice training, but surely also the formative influences of her mother, whose family once emigrated from Yemen to Israel [...]
Die Rheinpfalz
Timna Brauer had the honor get onto stage after Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. She was the true discovery of 22nd Montreux Jazz Festival.
Frankfurter Allgemeine
[...] In memory of many clumsy tries to "jazzify" classical music enough skepticism was present with me - but as it turned out, this was inappropriate. [...] Some adorable melody shine through, however, they once turn out as Blues, then again as a subtly swinging structure, also mixed with some more oriental colourings . [...]
