Said about Viktoria Søndergaard SECRETS:
“The music radiates imagination, life-affirming joy, and above all, the desire to make dreams come true.”
— Carl Prize 2025
“Music of merciless intimacy, hardly categorizable, yet holding everyone captive.”
— Jazz thing
“What makes Music of Secrets striking is how Søndergaard treats the vibraphone — not just as a melodic voice but as the center of a wider conversation. For a vibes-led debut, she often steps back, giving her band room to speak, and that generosity makes the record feel even more collective. It’s bold and wide-ranging, yet it never loses its intimacy. Søndergaard set out to make a record about connection, and every note feels tied to that purpose.” — Jazzviews.net, on the debut album Music of Secrets
