"Incomparable” is what the German weekly paper Die Zeit called this album on its release in the year 2000, before going on to describe the music as follows: “A high, warm voice sings fragile songs, Annette Peacock accompanies herself on the grand piano, a string quartet models sound sculptures: the time measure from classical music, the feeling from jazz, openness from the lyrics, and a voice of dreams.” An Acrobat’s Heart is a ravishingly beautiful album by one of the most mysterious, elusive and beguiling figures on the fringes of jazz. It features the unique vocals and piano playing of singer-songwriter Annette Peacock, performing her own compositions with the acclaimed Cikada String Quartet. The Guardian’s John Fordham suggested the album is "one of the most delicate, appropriate and discomfortingly touching undertakings [Annette Peacock] has ever made.” The 2-Lp tip-on gatefold Luminessence re-issue of the album marks its first release on vinyl.
