„These quiet songs struck a chord across the spectrum - from people who found Christmas too stressful, to people whose Christmas was filled with perfection, happiness, perfectly made food, the right presents, mothers in law and more! I do believe “It‘s snowing on my piano” will remain the album and the music I have made in my life that has touched the most people. I am very honoured and moved by that fact. When recording it I had no other intention than to create a peaceful moment in life.“ (Bugge Wesseltoft)
„The greatest Christmas album to come from contemporary jazz.” (Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung)
