Mark Andre unfolds »the most fragile and at the same time probably most intense compositional interspaces« in his miniatures. The sounding out of the voice, of the vocal possibilities of expression, fragile and powerful, soloistic and fused into the instrumental sound, is one of the brackets in this brilliantly cast chamber concerto. »Hommages to courageous women« is another. And last but not least, the concert sheds light on the composer Sergej Newski, whose BORIS will be premiered directly before ECLAT at the Stuttgart Opera.
