“When I hear Britta play, I hear a connected soul who’s able to communicate through the touch and sound of the piano. Her trio is in sync with this sensitivity and together, they create a highly dynamic and satisfying listening experience” - Kurt Rosenwinkel.
“Carefully and patiently created stories that rarely follow the expected path. You simply cannot stop listening.” – Joakim Milder
