Reviews

"One of the special features of Saterzang Antigone is that it is a collective piece of work, an attempt to create a contemporary 'opera' in the fast-paced, modern age in a slow and old-fashioned way that was rare even in the past."
NRC, 1992

 

"The result is not bad. One does have to take one's time to fully appreciate Brewaeys' music. And then one discovers a rich palette of sounds, not only with the percussionists, but also with the singers of the performing group Leporello."
The Standard, 1992

 

"It is a work for a small ensemble, but austerity in this case leads to great dramatic expression. (...) Ensemble Leporello's vocal quartet is strong in the vocal parts."
ERu, De Morgen, 1992
