"Sometimes after experiencing a new, unexpectedly stimulating work of art, a period of disorientation sets in, and that is exactly what happened in the first 48 hours after seeing Nicholas Brooke's two-character tornado called Tone Test" MusicWeb |

| "Using samples of Edison Diamond Disc recordings, Mr. Brooke has deftly blended fractured bits of them—everything from cheerful songs with strummed ukuleles to a mournful Bellini aria—into a score for tape and two live singers . . . [the opera] conveys the giddily disorienting effect the recording technology had on the public's perception of music." New York Times | |
