From Crosscut, a review of a performance of a Heiner Goebbels piece.

Heiner Goebbels is a well-known European avant-garde composer whose works have rarely been performed in the U.S. This is too bad, if “Song of Wars I Have Known,” a stunning hour-long chamber work, is representative. The Seattle Chamber Players heard a Goebbels’ piece at a Warsaw festival, and immediately determined to present one in Seattle. This they did, March 4-6, with the early music ensemble Pacific Musicworks, under the auspices of On the Boards.
