About Her Voice
""it is bel canto singing of the type we simply do not hear
these days."
- Ira Siff.
"...the superb singing of soprano Judith Mok, made this work the
highlight of the evening"
- The Irish Times
"Only a Nepalese shaman’s performance could be a match for
Mok’s vibrant show as she sang songs from the era of James Joyce
electrifying her audiences."
- Times of India
'…Dazzling virtuosity…Judith Mok was singer, actor, mimic,
cabaret artist…all of which parts she performed with astounding skill…'
'…one can feel the authority of her interpretation and appreciate
that one has been present at a rare occasion…
- The Irish Times
'…among the highlights was the performance of the young soprano
Judith Mok of arias from the opera Idomeneo. A voice which does not get
thin or shrill even in the highest notes, which keeps its warmth at every
level, and to whose strikingly precise intonation the orchestra could
tune their instruments. A voice made for Mozart…'
- Berliner Zeitung
"Judith Mok selbst sang diesen Part für Solo- Sopran und Perkussion
wie eine Wasserfee: klar und wild"

'…In voice and attitude the soprano Judith Mok has the power of a
queen..'
- NRC Handelsblad
'…prodigious moments were provided by the soprano Judith Mok, who
in an 'a capella' programme offered her splendid voice on its own, and
she can certainly afford such a stripped-down approach. An austerity channeled
into a comic mode in Stripsodie (1967) by Cathy Berberian, whose volcanic
presence was resurrected…'
- Le Monde
'…we only had eyes for the sensual and teasing stage personality
of Judith Mok, a truly lyrical soprano…'

About Her Writing
Gael
"There is much to admire not least the lyrical writing, whtich at
times creates a dreamlike atmosphere."
-The Irish Times
"...Lawrenthian mystery at the heart of a novel such as this: striking
a balance between pain and beauty, between lyrical prose and ugly reality.
In a modern world wehre feeling and emotion are frequently contained and
packaged for safe consumption, the kind of raw passion and danger on offer
here is certainly worth engaging with."
-The Irish Times
Moks writing is excellent and on the tripod of arts that uphold this work - music, art and literature - she has flashes of brilliance... constructing her second tongue in a defamiliarised way without the cliches and lazy comforts of acquaintance.
-The Dubliner
De Beul
"A passionate and convincing account of a struggle to survive."
- Margot Dijkgraaf
