SONUS about Raquel Andueza:

Raquel has a simply unique, beautifully bright, round and percetly focused voice, which fascinates on one hand through her amazing and seemingly effortless flexibility, on the other hand enthuses with her sensuous long notes and legato-lines, which appeal to the listener quite intensely.

With this she has excellent ears for intonation and temperament, a profound technique as well as a reliable knowledge on stilistical matters which allows here to approach a rather broad repertoire.
And last but not least her omnipresent and visible joy in singing not only transfers simply brilliantly performed music in her concerts, but also a lot of fun and some quite dense emotions, which is extremely touching for an audience.
