[…] Auerbach’s Symphony No.6 (Vessels of Light) featuring Israeli cellist, Kristina Reiko Cooper, who, incidentally, performed at the work’s première and, indeed, came up with the idea for the work. Singing in Yiddish, the quartet of outstanding vocalists was admirably led by German soprano, Johanna Ihrig, who harbours a strong, richly textured wide-ranging voice, well supported by Nora Steuerwald (contralto), Falk Hoffmann (tenor) and Steven Klose (bass) complemented by the ‘poetic whispering voices’ (Flüsterstimmen) of Eliana Pliskin Jacobs, Sasha Lurje, Daniel Kahn and Karsten Troyke.
