"A coupling of a rare intelligence adds even more to the interest of this disc: sophisticatedly extreme, "Pourtinade" blends a screeching viola - in all its flexible outbursts, in its tense lyricism - with a nebulous percussion (distilled by strange timbers of glass)."

Le Monde de la Musique (FRANCE), Mai 1992

"We are in the presence of a rare phenomenon. This recording is literally "transcendental", whether it be in regards to repertoire, interpretation, sound recording or to the description of the works, as well as the visual aspect."

VOIR (Montreal), February 1992

"..a remarkbly affecting piece, memorable in particlar for the way it manages - largely through its dextrous handling of bowed percussion and viola harmonics - to tease out the hidden and often unexpected timbral affinities between viola and percussion... a surefooted performance of an enigmatically seductive piece, and it is strongly recommended to adventurous listeners"

Fanfare Magazine, USA, Peter J. Rabinowitz

"... A chimerical tapestry of rarified sounds... Miss Bouchard does have an undeniable gift for creating eloquent sonorities..."

New York Times, January 1984, Tim Page
