"[Puneiga includes] two of this composer's most exquisitely poised settings. Sylvia Nopper is no less enticing in the typically exacting vocal part, with Holliger drawing a precise and fastidious response from hs ensemble." (International Record Review)

"[Puneiga includes] two of this composer's most exquisitely poised settings. Sylvia Nopper is no less enticing in the typically exacting vocal part, with Holliger drawing a precise and fastidious response from hs ensemble...Kai Wessel and Olivier Darbellay are dedicated exponents of a piece [Induuchlen] that discreetly rewrites the rules for fusing vocal and instrumental means."
(International Record Review)

[In Induuchlen] A counter-tenor delivers the texts, but he is required to sing in the baritone register as well as his usual range, and he's partnered by a natural horn player who has to sing as well as play. The two constantly intertwine until they almost merge into a single composite instrument, an earthy mix of mountain yodelling and forest calls. I've never heard anything quite like it."
(The Guardian)
