Jazznu
With her almost angelic tone, she interprets Bach in a way that is both respectful and innovative.
Jazzflits
Her voice and way of singing are ultimate. She sings easy and free.
Muziekwereld/NTB
In Lament, Prophet, and Angel, great poetry merges with Bach’s melodies into a delightful whole — not least because of Beets’ seductive and highly versatile voice.
Muziekwereld
An ambitious and captivating album — inspiring, tasteful, and wonderfully free to listen to.
“Music Emotion”
The combination of jazz, classical music, and English poetry sounds organic and fluid, shaped by great attention to detail, vibrant musical energy, and a deep love for Bach’s oeuvre.
Keep Swinging
Everything Dasha sings is crystal clear — never overly jazzy, yet always infused with a deeply felt sense of the beauty of Bach’s music, which she truly makes her own. Bach swinging as if it was always meant to be that way. When Dasha Beets begins Bach’s Lamento with her warm alto voice, it genuinely brings tears to your eyes — so intensely and profoundly beautiful.
