A tour de force of ensemble playing! Composer Enno Poppe writes about his work: "Speicher's plan is the search for extremes: extreme compression, thinning, acceleration, broadening." Despite its relatively compact dimensions, in terms of ensemble size, the piece offers an enormous variety of creative ideas over a duration of 70 minutes: an ark, a storehouse of musical energies that can be opened again.
