"Toru Takemitsu (1930 bis 1996) bezieht in seinem Stück "Voice" für Querflöte solo, wie es der Stücktitel schon nahe legt, die Stimme und Außermusikalisches wie Texte, Stimmlaute und Pusten in die Komposition mit ein. Auf hervorragend exakte Weise und konzentriert bot Eric Lamb das ungewöhnliche Stück dar."
