Her ability to make the text the scene is unique with a precision of emphasis, pauses, speaking, singing anf interaction with a little black book.

It is not often I listen to a recording again immediately after first hearing : this is the case in the latest CD release of Marianne Schuppe..... she sets new standards through changes of texture she achieves a result that gets right under the skin.... The compactness and intonational exactness, but also the minute transformations in the voice's timbre and the musical presence demonstrated by Schuppe in her realization of the tender gestures in Feldman's music, are simply amazing.

The vocal and emotional intensity of Marianne Schuppe is phenomenal: As she shapes the sounds with her voice like a lump of clay, she works out the sculptural qualities of the music...

Every once in a while a piece of music comes into your sphere of listening and you wonder how in the world this stuff ever came into being and how you ever missed it. This CD of microtonal voice compositions is possibly one the most intense yet strangely static experiences that have come my way in a long while....The music on this disc is sparse in its execution, being primarily performed by a single voice with the addition of a second on tape for four out of the 13 tracks. This austerity manages to intensify the experience to the point of an almost spiritual level, but at the same time is as ecstatic and pagan as any good orgy. As an insight into the scope of microtonality, it is invaluable as some of the pieces are literally based on one note. Some of the tracks gives one the idea that Diamanda Galas spent some time listening to Scelsi and one of the most interesting things about the CD is that some of these "songs are reinterpretations of instrumental works. Sheer brilliance! (New Albion)
