"Lorenzen visar vilken formidabel solist hon är. ... briljerade med osedvanlig teknisk kontroll och känsla för det poetiskt intima.

Magnus Haglund, Gothenbrug newspaper Göteborgsposten

"Lorenzen occasionally does things outside the traditional, but they are always justified, natural and appropriate..."

Jussi Mattila, Helsinki newspaper Savon Sanomat

"... captivating stage presence and outstanding musicality..."
