“The combination of harp, clarinet, voice and double bass is not one you hear every day, but in the right hands it works brilliantly. The Hermes Experiment who sport this line-up have in a short few years commissioned prodigiously for it, opening a whole new expressive world” The Evening Standard
“soprano, Héloïse Werner really used the words performatively: not just their meaning but their sound. (…) Werner was not at all afraid to sound ugly when the text, literally, called for it: ‘Il est trop laid” “Werner was called upon to imitate the train as well as sing: all carried off with a splendid sense of performance art.” Seen and Heard International (Mark Berry)
