A Contradicting Magic
Elisabeth Adkins rehearsing my Violin Concerto #2 with the Eclipse Chamber Orchestra, May 13, 2006
"In any art there is a Higher Regularity which seems to conventional people arbitrary and to unconventional people commonplace: Irene's singing was of this sort. And of all the singers I have ever heard she was the most essentially dramatic: she could not have sung a scale without making it seem a part of someones life, a thing of human importance. Yet when the song and her voice said: 'We are all dying' something else about her voice- a quality that could not be localized, that all the sounds possessed together and none possessed apart- said to you also: 'Whoever dies?' Over feeling and act, the human reality, her voice seemed to open out into a contradicting magic of speculation and belief, into the inhuman reality men discover or create. Her voice pushed back the boundaries of the world."
