"A soothing yet powerful voice resonates across the small room of the Kathmandu Jazz Conservatory (KJC). The soprano tells the tragic tale of a woman who asks why her lover is tortured and killed even as she lived for love. Backed by the sensually stirring music of the piano manipulated by her counterpart, it was a powerful experience and a short glimpse of the virtuosity of American opera singer Lindsay Feldmeth and Japanese pianist Ayako Watanabe."

“The two solo voices, the well-known mezzo-soprano Barbara Malkus and an as yet unknown soprano from Los Angeles who is currently studying at the Mozarteum, proved to be very well cast.
