Testimonials:
“ Thank you very much for the prompt delivery of the CD. I have listened to it three times in a row! Awesome! Much luck and success.”
Susanne
“ Great music, witty arrangements - a record out of the ordinary -I absolutely recommend it! ”
Carlo
“ I got the CD a few days ago. Really very beautiful! It all sounds so enticingly South American and Brazilian, that we were considering taking a Swiss German class...almost....
Great! Fideri and best regards. “
Jan
“ Traditional Folk music is not really my thing but I really did like your CD. It’s sassy, refreshing and stands out somehow. It certainly also has a more serious tone to it, looking at the title ( heimweh - homesick ). At the moment there are several projects striving to bring these old songs back to life.... but as many versions only revoke embarrassing sentimentality, your CD comes across with real authenticity. We all have our individual memories of these songs. I think your CD will signifacally help to rediscover and appreciate them again. Hats off to all the artists who participated! “
Manfred

Press Quotes:
“ Swiss born and New York based musician Eliane demonstrates on this records how much fun traditional Swiss folkmusic can be. “
Berner Bär, Inside Magazin
“... Swiss traditional Songs infused with subtle jazziness by women’s voices. “ s’ Ramseyers “ arranged as Reggae, for example, is not only incredibly creative but also a bulls eye adaptation of the style. “
Zürcher Oberländer, Extra
“ A trip around the world back to the roots - Eliane chooses a special approach to representing Switzerland’s diversity, which results in a, in many ways, out of the ordinary and fresh Swiss creation. “
Walliser Bote
“ Curtain call for Switzerland’s Power Voices.
Songs like „Ramseyers wei ga grase“, „Stets i Truure“, „Donna Donna“ or „Gang rüef de Gäle...“ all the sudden sound pepped up and far from boring. Tradition mixed with Girl Power and World Music. They yodel and groove... clarinet, alphorn and hackboard team up with human beat boxing, kazoo and electric guitar. Voices and beats merge and spice up ancient Swiss culture. The same songs that made me yawn and roll my eyes back in my schooldays now sound global, sassy, fresh and modern. Instead of generations in conflict, old goes hand in hand with new - without any reluctance. On the contrary, the result is a new symbiosis of culture, time and the language that everybody can understand : Music. “
“ the songs go down like Ovoltine. Once you heard those “fidiri fidirallala’s” you won’t be able to get them out of your head. “
Brigitte
“ Wienis gseit ha, wienis gmeint ha” is the actual proof that Swiss Folk music rocks. “
Radio Rottu
“ Swiss listeners will be curious to hear these modern renditions of folkslieder such as S'isch mer alles eis ding, Ganteral and Guggisbaerger Lied, whereas American listeners will be introduced to this rich musical lore in familiar musical settings. Heimweh means homesickness, but it can also mean longing for some place you miss, not necessarily your homeland. Swiss Miss have recorded an album that will make them feel connected to New York when in Switzerland and will always give a taste of a far off Swiss home when in New York. “
