A wonderful and gentle magician, who does not dare to give too much room to a single emotion. The most cunning singer for the last decades.\u201d
\n<\/em>Le Monde<\/p>\n

\u201c…a remarkable stage presence … her passionate, full-bodied singing strongly echoes Edith Piaf, but without conveying Piaf’s aura of imminent self-destruction. …simply spectacular.\u201d
\n<\/em>The New York Times<\/p>\n

\u201cIngrid Caven manages to produce profound short-dramas with each single verse. She acts with her heart and \u2018broken’ soul refering to the syntax of her sophisticated songtexts.\u201d
\n<\/em>Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung<\/p>\n

\u201c…she can make a sad phrase bitter, then turn the pain into parody with exaggerated vocal tremors \u2013 she breathes life into a range of voices, from the rasp of a world-weary whore to the ills of a charming ingenue.\u201d
\n<\/em>Interview<\/p>\n

\u201cHer genious-like slipshod ability to phrase, this feverish presence is alarming in its beauty. Caven sings with her hoarse, powerful, fragile voice; unstable, almost on the edge, this moment turning away from the melody and the other moment returning to the melody \u2013 and, of course, nothing of it is coincidental. If the spirits of tragedy are called in such a magic manner, they will stay for a long time yet to come.\u201d
\n<\/em>Basler Zeitung<\/p>\n

\u201cThere can be more than just one point of view to her interpretations. That is because of Caven\u00b4s extraordinary emphasis on certain words and phrases, because of her risky change of tunes and the defamiliarization of her voice. It seems like riding a roller-coaster made of sounds and feelings.\u201d
\n<\/em>Tagesspiegel<\/p>\n

\u201cOne should avoid comparing Caven to Marlene Dietrich or search for an affinity to Piaf. Diva and only Diva fits her. That is because only an uncomparable person can wear that title. Caven is not lost in a no-man’s-land which is made of memories and reflexions, she walks wide-awake through the abyss of our time.\u201d
\n<\/em>Berliner Zeitung<\/p>\n

\u201cShe offers the audience a broad pallette of options. Sometimes her voice sounds like a dream, then it sounds cheeky and sets out for determined height while still embedded in calm profundity. On the one hand she sings cheerfully and on the other hand she shows her regrets in a thoughtful manner about that \u2018love can be a frightening enemy’.
\n<\/em>She has the courage to show kitsch and doesn\u00b4t shy away from the idea of picking up Enzensberger\u00b4s \u201cAbendstern\u201d right up the roof. She lingers upon feelings just short of getting sentimental. Schubert\u00b4s \u201cAve Maria\u201d Caven-style reminds one more of an explosion than an oldstyle lullaby.
\n<\/em> Caven is a phenomenom of her own, she doesn\u00b4t fit any box \u2013 and certainly no German one. She can be a cheeky juvenile and at the same time an exalted \u2018Grande Dame’, Diva and Anti-Diva.
\nThere is nothing that keeps her in a certain mood for long. In one moment she mourns in a thoughtful manner and then suddenly determinates to a fresh aggression. This artistic calculated way of being is what makes her so outstanding.\u201d
\n<\/em>Berliner Morgenpost<\/p>\n

\u201cIt originates from Caven\u00b4s invention that chanson-singers have to roll on the floor and on a grand piano Instead of showing it off, she prefers to hide the fact that she studied music in a very classical way. Her voice often sounds a bit dissipated \u2013 it almost compares to a sexy whisper followed by a thundering tremolo. A nocturnal ecstasy in the middle of melancholy and in-toxication, gutter and Grande Dame.\u201d
