- Pierre Elliott Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada
"What an exceptional being is Anna, for having inspired such music and so beautiful poems. We both have always loved baroque music, which more than any other music conveys best these feelings of peace, joy, harmony and love which I also feel each time I listen to you, with greater and greater pleasure. Your illustrations are really a feast of humour and tenderness ... and what a talent for drawing portraits. So the enjoyment is total.”
- Mme. Jean Herbert, Switzerland
"We listened to your CDs with great pleasure. Congratulations!"
-Ton Koopman, Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra
