“Die Niederländerin Birthe Blom bewies eindrucksvoll dass sie sich in jeder musikalischen Epoche wohl fühlt. Eine barocke Passacaglia von Biber spielte sie ebenso überzeugend wie ein Capriccio des Zeitgenossigen Joey Roukens” | 14 mei 2003 |
“…..Birthe Blom convinced through her virtuosity, her musicality and the radiant sound she drew from her precious Italian violin.
