“Christine Rauh has virtually unlimited command of a technique enabling her to master any possible difficulty on her instrument. Her reading of the works she plays often shows very personal and surprising facets which makes the listener completely forget her young age; her sometimes audacious originality and her individual renderings never fail to fascinate the audience. She has profound and always well-argued ideas at her disposal of how an interpretation must be characterized to communicate the music to the public, a knowledge underlined by the fact that she is also an excellent pianist.”
(Gerhard Mantel, 2005)
