The drifting voice, full of mezzo colour above a hypnotic web of instrumental pattern, conveyed a mood of quietly natural ecstasy. At one point, an episode of trios and duets between singer, viola and cello offered a reflective pause for thought. Yet the flow remained seamless, painting a continuum of experience to be enjoyed, without thought, through the senses and the feelings." - Nicholas Williams, The Independent [UK] (10 December 1996)Nemonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308850492930940749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072760.post-35772119792487737982012-03-31T10:53:05.791+01:002012-03-31T10:53:05.791+01:00Thanks, Rhys.
