From Food and Music, American Modern Ensemble NYC:
"(Pianist) McMillen returned with soprano Jacqueline
Bruce, for a
well-conceived set including Bernstein's La Bonne Cuisine: Four Recipes
for Voice and Piano, and William Bolcom's riotous send-up of regrettable
salads, Lime Jello Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise, the latter
taking
particular advantage of Bruce's persona and vocal pyrotechnics. (And
the
actual recipe, presumably followed faithfully by Ms. Bruce, made an
appearance at the post-concert reception.)" MusicWeb International

"In the role of Aloysia Jacqueline Bruce lent a

unwavering sopranos who
soar through glittering sunshine." Opera News Magazine
