Reviews

“One would have to search for a long time and then very likely come to the result: With such careful research, with such intelligent presentation, with this breadth of variation, with comparable intensity of presentation, with such high-quality entertainment and educational value, there should be no second Brecht at the moment - give an interpreter duo. "
