A la cantante Deborah Claire Procter, sólo cabe agradecerle por la oportunidad que brindó a la audiencia de redescubrir la singularidad incomparable e inimitable de la belleza de la voz humana. Su intervención (acaso por aproximarse a algo podría ligársela al scat o a la fonética onomatopéyica de ciertas tradiciones africanas) fue simplemente deslumbrante por la solvencia técnica en el registro y su versatilidad al intervenir en una obra que exige competencias superlativas para traducir el complejo mundo interior que expresa. | To the singer Deborah Claire Procter it is only necessary to be grateful to her for the opportunity that toasted the audience to be able to re-discover the incomparable and inimitable singularity of the beauty of the human voice. Her intervention (perhaps for coming closer to something that might unite scat or the onomatopoeic phonetics of certain African traditions) was simply dazzling for the technical solvency in the range and her versatility in having intervened in a work that demands superlative competences in order to translate the complex interior world that it expresses."

“La Grilla” no parece más orientada por una idea de futuro que por la de un pasado remotísimo, con sus instrumentos como el litófono, sus ruidos y sonidos de utensilios primitivos ( En el mundo oíd a la voz del cuchillo que hiere a la luna ) y ese extraño dialecto que se articula en la hermosa voz de Deborah Claire Procter y que parece bordear el lenguaje articulado, como ocurre a partir de Luna sangrando a Jackson Pollock , a pesar de que, por efecto del hormigueo casi figurativo de esos diminutos vocablos, más que con Pollock esa música del ENS parece conectar con ciertos paisajes del artista Eduardo Stupía. | “The Grid” does not seem to be more orientated to an idea of future than to that of a remote past, with it’s instruments like the lithophone, it’s noises and sounds of primitive tools ( En el mundo oíd a la voz del cuchillo que hiere a la luna ) and this strange dialect that the beautiful voice of Deborah Claire Procter articulates, that seems to border on an articulated language, with the effect of the almost figurative swarming of these tiny words, more than with Pollock, the music of the ENS seems to connect with certain landscapes of the artist Eduardo Stupía.

[It] is one of those rare performances in which you feel that something has been added to your life, some new insight, a different kind of association, or the sheer pleasure of having great music, images and poetry combined in a subtle way. Edelstein's piano playing and improvisations are really quite extraordinary.
Gloria Carnevali (former Director of the Bolivar Hall, London)
...lyrical and quirky.
David Adams, Western Mail
A touch of originality... All throughout Procter sang clearly and effortlessly.

A demanding and great performance. The use of everyday objects, simple actions, Bingen’s music and other texts is visionary in its artistic and religious vision. “Illuminata” is a first rate “illumination” in performance and creativity.
