"Even though many of her registrational conceits seem conventional enough, she is really looking for an out from all the instrumental hang-ups that have demarcated intention and reality in performance. For her, the scores of Bach are just what they should be for all of us, in fact - an excuse to build an infinite variety of pertinent performance systems. She has managed to tap sound-sources that, in their - literally - incomparable variety are perfectly mated to the sublime instrumental indifference of the composer. She has not just offered us, as everyone from Harold Samuels to the Swingle Singers is reputed to have done, a Bach for Our Time but a start toward an infinitely expanded recreative capability and an inkling of the future as well."
