Raknes has managed the masterpiece : to spin a musical tissue clustered around the words and keep them up rather than stifle them.
Paal Kvamme, Bergens Tidende
The birthday party of all times! … Inspired , exciting and extremely successful commissioned … Wild, beautiful , airy , exciting and, God damn, also tasteful and elegant.
Knut Markhus, Hordaland
What a gift! ( …) With small letters on the program there stood: ” to Iris on her one-anniversary ” , and the entire sports hall said thank you with loud applause after the concert. Because this was delicious!
