This old Rum star is still an inspired singer ... How does he still manage to find enough breath for those fast and dynamic songs, I wonder. New Folksounds, October 2007


 

Rapture with gallant melancholy: the Rans Ensemble was exhilarating, absolutely enthralling.
Münstersche Zeitung (Germany), July 2004

Paul Rans produces a lyrical sound which also adds wonderful colours to lovers' laments.
Het Parool (Netherlands), January 2005


All musicians have total command of their instruments and their intonation is faultless. Rans also introduced the songs with much wit and wisdom so that the audience was able to understand most of these Flemish texts.
Westfälische Nachrichten (Germany), July 2004
Rans & Flagel. L’inventivité et la fraîcheur des interprètes confèrent beaucoup d’atmosphère à ce projet. Les deux voix solistes sont très convaincantes. CHOC!
Le Monde de la Musique (France), juillet-août 2002
Paul Rans is a marvellous singer; you can hear every word, even if you can’t understand them. He shapes the music well, and has a convincing presence.
Early Music Review (UK), September 1998
Paul Rans and Ambrozijn: a successful combination of voices.
De Standaard (Belgium), 2003
