The score is exquisitely wrought, with a shimmering, sumptuously dissonant harmonic palette strongly reminiscent of Schreker – and the cast of four plus nine-piece ensemble perform it with seductive intensity under conductor Robert Kahn...Yet the line between erotic malaise and dramatic inertia is a fine one, and the gothic horror has a sadistic edge that proves uncomfortable. — BBC Music Magazine, January 2021
