"With her multi-faceted voice, Tinka Kleffner precisely captures the brilliant metaphors of Romantic epistolary culture, bringing the era in question to life at the spoken level. [...] This debut CD is well worth listening to because the two artists immerse us so vividly in the cosmos of Romanticism.“ Rezension von Florestane Crochee, Ausgabe 3/2024

"Sophia Weidemann plays ‘Das Jahr’ wonderfully, with a wide range of expression and technically flawless, Tinka Kleffner precisely sketches the conflict into which Fanny Hensel fell in the face of her artistic urge and the circumstances, which are made clear in her father's jovial admonitions." Review by Jürgen Hartmann, May 12, 2024
Kulturabdruck
"Letter and diary sequences are recited by Tinka Kleffner in a pointed, lively and emphatically ironic manner. [...] Sophia Weidemann allows herself to be guided more by the “richness of harmony” and the “diversity of emotions” in order to create a literally wonderful picture book, always bathed in new light, which has its very own, unmistakable characteristics for each month."
