Isa Katharina Gericke

Photograph by Paul Bernhard

"Gericke's voice is young and with a fresh beauty. It sounds light and with a precise intonation, not a single unintentional vibrato stirs the expression. What is evident... is how her voice has grown in fullness and timbre.

Exceptional.

This gives her a larger and more sensual register on which to play. And she knows how to use her assets better than most. Her communication through singing, which includes the ability to become one with the music, is exceptional, measured not only against other Norwegian singers."
Idar Karevold, 'Aftenposten', Oslo at the Bergen International Festival, June 2007
