”The moment when Álfheiður walked back into the darkness as she sang The Night in Silence Under Many a Star by Crumb was indescribable. It was like merging with the night and the stars, disappearing into the cosmos and the darkness. It was a powerful musical enchantment and spectacle; a unique, unforgettable artistic event.” -Fréttablaðið, Iceland
