Elixir - piano, prose and song, 1998-2001

"Best of the season!
Elixir was a very nice acquaintance that had the capacity to create a festive atmosphere ... it tempted sometimes to laughter and sometimes to reflection ... the best this season."
Ulla Andersson, TT

 "The ensemble Elixir from Gothenburg casts off from old familiar patterns with their musical and prosaic show. ... Ridenius fine soprano sounded elegant and controlled ... gave the audience new vocal experiences ... The evening was beautiful, just as her voice ... and 'Äppelträd och päronträd' by Bo Linde, was a fine epilogue."
Lennart Wikström, Bohusläningen

 


Master Class, 1997

"... the young singers got raving applause for their achievements ... at BNT you clearly notice Carina Ridenius sharp style as dramatic coloratura ..."
CarlHåkan Larsén, Sydsvenska Dagbladet

"... the strong Carina Ridenius is musically delightful ... the audience smiles on the verge of tears and constantly applause ..."
Mona Levin, Norske Aftenposten

"... Carina Ridenius is brilliant as one of the three young singers ..."
Birgitte Grue, Berlingske Tidene


Operetta and musical concerto, 1996

"... Carina Ridenius, who aimed high with great success in so very different pieces such as Viljalied, 'I could have danced all night' from My Fair Lady and 'I feel pretty' from West Side Story. In other words, a very attractive and stable all-round performance."
Håkan Dahl, Göteborgs-Posten

 


Le cantatrici villane, 1994

"... If you take a dramatic piece like this with a twinkle in the eye, and the ensemble did just that, then you'll have great entertainment. It was obvious that they had fun and enjoyed to be on stage ..."

"... Most vocally correct ... Carina Ridenius in the part of Rosa ... very good phrasing and intonation."
Håkan Dahl, Göteborgs-Posten
