| “ | Plainchant, Buddhist ritual and magical electronics variously permeate the three works here, written by Harvey between 1992 and 2008. They all centre around the idea of a voice, but without using a singer. Scena is like an abstract opera, heard through layers of mysterious sound: the pianist, one of a small ensemble including harp and guitar, sometimes uses a weighted ping-pong ball, and the diva herself is a rhapsodic solo violin. Jubilus, for viola and ensemble, draws on Harvey's fascination with Tibetan ritual chant, andSpeakings explores the evolution of speech through timbre and texture. As ever with Harvey, the results are both calming and vital. Fiona Maddocks, The Observer | ” |
