About "Incontro Concertante"
“Ensemble U: has been in the orbit of contemporary music for at least ten years. Incontro Concertante by the Swedish composer Ansgar Beste, in which wind instruments are to be wrapped in foil and other rather surprising techniques are required, was visually so impressive in concert that it would have been difficult to achieve a more fruitful tension between the expectations it created and the actual sounds.”
(Translation by Aare Tool)
“Ansambel U: on olnud nüüdismuusika austajate rõõmuks orbiidil juba vähemalt kümme aastat. Rootsi helilooja Ansgar Beste Incontro concertante, kus nõutakse puhkpillide mähkimist fooliumi ja kasutatakse muidki üllatuslikke võtteid, oli ansambli esituses visuaalselt sedavõrd kõnekas, et ootuste ja tegeliku kõlatulemuse vahel olnuks õigupoolest keeruline saavutada veel viljakamat pingeseisundit.”
