"...This eerily alluring 30-minute work for soprano and orchestra was written for the remarkable Barbara Hannigan, who performed it stunningly..."
The New York Times, January 19th, 2016

“Abrahamsen expresses both the fragility and force of Griffiths's imagined Ophelia through glinting, gauze-like textures and moments of clattering tumult…Barbara Hannigan's agile, luminous voice is ideal, and sings with power and subtlety…”
BBC Music Magazine, May 2016

“…the piece, a winner of a Grawemeyer and an RPS award, contains a whole ocean of melancholy and ferocity. This is realised by the extraordinary soprano Barbara Hannigan and by Abrahamsen’s wondrous score, which embraces Romantic echoes and fascinating microtonal clusters … What emerges is a postmodern portrait of a woman with much more of an inner life than even the Bard may have realised.”
The Times, February 5th 2016

  let me tell you
I Part:
1. Let me tell you how it was
2. O but memory is not one but many
3. There was a time, I remember

II Part:
4. Let me tell you how it is
5. Now I do not mind

III Part:
6. I know you are there
7. I will go out now
