Boosey & Hawkes
Unsuk Chin drew inspiration for her second opera from the life and work of the legendary physicist Wolfgang Pauli and his relationship with the psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Faustian material for the 21st century.
…a work of restless sonic invention… The music offered a vivid window into the unsaid and the unsayable.”
New York Times
“Chin’s music, as always delicate, complex and intriguingly descriptive… Musically, this is an outstanding evening.”
Financial Times
“…a strange, outlandishly convoluted and yet profound plot, combined with dazzlingly complex, powerful and violently triumphant music…”
Suddeutscher Zeitung
