Music one remembers -Jens Brinker, Berlingske Tidende

Houdini the Great is not the first opera to give a singing voice to the famous magician and escape artist, but I doubt if other musical treatments have more charm or sheer zest -Peter G. Davis, New York Magazine

Andy Pape is a composer one could grow very fond of -Michael Bonnensen, Politiken

Unbelievably dynamic and organic in his structure and design. -Ivo Hedelund, Nutida Musik

Is it possible to write serious music without a furrowed brow, your soul turned inside-out and your back turned resolutely towards the audience? – A composer such as Andy Pape is capable of such a feat -Jan Andersen, Politiken

Pape made the audience laugh helplessly, while witnessing one of the best instrumental-theatre works, I have ever experienced -Jan Jacoby, Politiken

Entertaining without being trivial, constantly energetic and resourceful in his pacing. -David Fanning, The Grammophone

“The soul smiles when buffoonery is art” (On Houdini the Gtreat at its premiere at the Royal Danish Opera) -Therese Waskovska, Politiken
