Sequenza III for Woman’s Voice (CD 1, Track 7)

“The performers, a veritable Who’s Who of great soloists including Irvine Arditti, Stuart Dempster, Rohan De Saram, Isabelle Ganz, Ulrich Krieger, Seth Josel and Aki Takahashi (to name but a few), contribute with heartfelt passion to the success of the project.”
“The spectacular theatre of voices performed by Isabelle Ganz in Sequenza III is typical Berio/Berberian matter, but noteworthy for its avoidance of the insufferable (at least for this writer) technical gadgetry usually associated with the female voice in contemporary music (much of which, ironically enough, was instigated by Berberian herself). Ganz’s rendition is just superb – and surprisingly sober, giving the work a real touch of class.”
