”You can easily call the Danish klezmer-band Klezmofobia a success story and a funny one of its kind ... this modern klezmer, which You normally can import from highly specialized labels like John Zorn Tzadik, suddenly had a strong Danish Representative ... The music was actually ... fuckin great.”

"...Eyeopening and growing vocal. And then... Speed. People start jumping. Channe Nussbaum dances in al her fantastic womanliness and the clarinet and the trumpet seems to be in some kind of duel, a klezmer showdown, where everybode wins. Oi, oi, oi!" - Live-review in Information, nationwide Danish newspaper, June 2008
Headline of a two-page article in leading Danish newspaper - Politiken, 16.1.2009
“…A warmblooded danish-jewish diva in a sensual declaration of love to her former Palestinian lover. A band consisting of anything but lost folk musicians escaping over the fence in an intoxicating stream of surfrock, ska and hints to serbian farmer-rock, played as if it were a slivovitz-affected day on the marketplace in Guca. And at the same time solidly connected to the roots of danish folkmusic…. Welcome to the world of Klezmofobia… It is an excellent album. Spiel mit mir, Klezmofobia…” - INFORMATION, nationwide Danish newspaper, by reviewer Torben Holleufer

Yiddish, a powerful jumble of old klezmer elements, combined with modern rock beats is what makes the uniqueness of
the orchestra. - FMK.NU
