About "Danse Canonique 2" (1st version of "Rituel Bizarre")
“Impressive vitality
[…] also in the next piece, Ansgar Beste’s Danse Canonique 2, the orchestra was originally positioned, with the musicians in a row in a large arch. Different was also the playing technique in the work; not less than six different playing techniques were used, with lots of striking and plucking on the instruments. At times, the orchestra sounded like a mechanical machine. A really thrilling piece.”
(Translation by Ansgar Beste)
“Imponerande livskraft
[…] även i nästa stycke, Ansgar Bestes Dance Canonique 2, var orkestern originellt formerad, med musikerna på rad i en vid båge. Annorlunda var också speltekniken i verket; inte mindre än sex olika speltekniker användes, med mycket slående och knäppande på instrumenten. Tidvis lät orkestern som en mekanisk maskin. Ett stycke som verkligen tog tag i en.”
