'Adrienne's setting of John Donne's poetry for tenor and strings is a captivating and evocative work. The restrained but expressive tenor writing is accompanied by elegant string textures – including an unusual and poignant solo viola – which are full of subtle, unexpected harmonies and colour. There were moments when I found myself holding my breath as I was drawn into an intimate world where every phrase felt deeply moving and emotionally honest.' (Audience member).
