• "The excellent soloists Charikla Tonn (soprano) and Sahra Kimm (piano) performed under the competent direction of Uwe Finger. (…) Sensitive and with good upper range the soloists performed Hans Pfitzner’s ”Nachts”. Enchanting and graceful was also the aria “Als geblüht der Kirschenbaum” from the opera “Vogelhändler”. (…) With light and easy coloratura the soloist convincingly sang the aria Adele “Mein Herr Marquis” from “Fledermaus” (…) before that the soloist aroused much applause with Hollaender’s hit “Ich weiß nicht, zu wem ich gehöre”. (…) Vivaciously and with brilliant top tones she performed the aria “Frau Fluth” from the opera “Die lustige Weiber von Windsor”."
  "Some of the other highlights of the evening (…) were the arias by Lehar, Dostal and Gounod performed by Charikla Tonn. To a storm of applause demanding an encore, the audience heard the excellently performed “Ich hätt’ getanzt heut’ Nacht” from “My fair Lady”."
