Benjamin Staern

Reviews on Fem episoder:

[...] "Benjamin Staern (*1978), ein befreundeter schwedischer

Komponist, schrieb ihnen „Fünf Episoden“ auf den Leib: Im Wesentlichen

konventionell konzipiert fordern die fünf Stückchen das Publikum doch durch

spannende, eher dissonante Tonsprache, die Spieler durch ausgesprochen schwierige

Stellen und schnelle Wechsel zwischen den Stimmungen." [...]
