Press Quotes
"(…) When Lange takes up or artfully imitates Sorbian melodies and sacred music in his 'family opera,' he does so with orchestral turboflow. (…) The creative overload of the score becomes neither dull nor bombastic, even when the Sorbian Krabat, with his magical melodic and musical richness, repeatedly comes into close contact with Strauss's far more delicately organized 'Woman Without a Shadow.'" (Roland H. Dippel, in: Die Deutsche Bühne, September 14, 2025)
