" Steely, muted and unadorned, Keegan's lamentation vocal line (in the Bernsteins Jeremiah symphony No 1), revealed with brutal clarity the lonely despair of the prophet ignored.
Most moving was a gossamer rendition of the Mahler Ruckert Lieder by Keegan, her effortless line and a diaphanous orchestral accompaniment, floating the listener into dreamscapes of fragrance, celestial gazing and solitary musings. This was art to awaken even the most world weary listener."
