...Seven musicians and twelve singers under the direction of Ari Benjamin Meyers pull off a feat of concentration that over time rubs off on the listeners. On the other hand there occur moments of poetry and of surprise, as when after a long repeating passage a solo violin suddenly plays alone. Without a doubt, this music has the power to put one in a trance.
Ulrich Pollmann, Tagesspiegel

...Redux Orchestra- who under the unrelenting direction of Ari Benjamin Meyers played for four hours straight the short repeating eighth note motives- as well as the singers, have given a performance of such physicality that one can only marvel.
Wolfgang Fuhrmann, Berliner Zeitung
