Maren Schwier, trained in Frankfurt and quickly recognized in the region as a new voice between the classical operatic repertoire and the most demanding new music, is truly a soprano who is blessed with a common throat, who even with the bizarre zigzag melos of Michael Sell ​​is not faced with insurmountable problems.

Difficult seemed to mobilize all possible tones and loud chants. She moved vocally from the very top to the very bottom, sometimes breathed or whispered, sometimes in spoken chanting and surprised with tones that are probably not to be found in any opera literature.

[...] There was cheering applause in the ballroom for the "musical expansion of consciousness".
