The Telegraph (De Telegraaf) (NL):

'Jacob ter Veldhuis composed a solo for Monica Germino, who drew long, plaintive tones and piercing outbursts from her powerfully amplified electric violin, alongside a soundtrack of indefinable sounds...The violinist is the central figure on stage. She breathes life into the dancers with her notes and summons the memories in them to wake. She leads, inspires, manipulates.’

Rotterdams Dagblad (NL):

'Violinist Monica Germino performs Jacob ter Veldhuis' new score live and moves like an eleventh dancer through the group. The amplified electric violin music lures you into another world...'
'Dancers are lashed into action by violinist Monica Germino, who is always on stage. She [Germino] resembles a kind of snake charmer, but then not with a flute but rather with her electric violin...'

The CD:

JacobTV | SUITES OF LUX, on Basta Music (double CD)
“...Monica Germino plays expansively and with beautiful tone in the rock- and new age-tinged SUITES OF LUX, for electronic violin and soundtrack, the largest work on the album.”
-Stephen Eddins, All Music
