"[Quatre instants] has a gleaming and glittering surface, with fine filigree work in which tuned percussion is prominent, while the voice soars and dips. One aspect of Saariaho's vocal writing is that the voice often merges with or hands over to an instrument, and is treated in some ways as if it were itself an instrument itself. The idiom is reminiscent of Szymanowski's orchestral song-cycles or Ravel's Shéhérazade and Saariaho's cycle can stand the comparison ... This is a memorable disc and a valuable addition to Saariaho's growing discography".

"Karen Vourc'h ... is an eloquent advocate of the heigtened arioso, flexing into and out of speech ... [In Terra Memoria] Marko Letonja controls Saariaho's single arc of quizzical and querulous transformations into a haunting meditation on memory itself".

"Émilie fick sin premiär i Lyon 2010 och är Saariahos tredje opera ... om markisinnan Émilie du Châtelet (1706-49), en av de första internationellt kända kvinnliga matematikerna ... Sopranen Karen Vourc'h ... känslomässiga uttryck är starkt berörande ... Kaija Saariaho har blivit något av den nutide musikens fixstjärna och när resultatet blir så bra som på den här cd:n känns det inte mer än rätt".

"Saariaho's genius as a song-writer is displayed in ravishing form in the orchestral version of Quatre Instants (2002), as with Émilie ... Saariaho has found a near-ideal interpreter in Karen Vourc'h ... whose radiant tone is enchanting ... Strasbourg PO play with unusual fervour and refinement, relishing Saariaho's at times oppulent sound world ... Ondine's recording ... is superb".
