“Magnificent and compelling…as powerful and moving as it was undoubtedly original and thought-provoking.”
“By far the most boldly radical and ambitious music heard during the entire festival…genuinely incredible and unforgettable.”
“This work is one almighty claxon for today’s listeners as much as it is a wake-up call for the world.”
“A piece of high drama, soaring vocals, and intense emotion.”
“The most stunning and divisive work at the festival…Berliner Philharmoniker’s gorgeous postmodern music written by Eugene Birman and conducted by Stanley Dodds.”
“Wonderfully enlivened…what results is a work of simple command and clean execution…It’s subtle, but it’s all there.”
“Electrifying and earth-shaking” – translated from the original Estonian
