"Best balanced program" Ultraschallfestival, Der Tagesspiegel, 1/27/04 Virtuosic was "Dikhthas" by Xenakis for violin and piano performed by ensemble Intégrales (Barbara Lüneburg violin, Claudia Birkholz piano). On the whole this ensemble presented one of the best balanced programs of the festival. Ludwigshafen...Together
with Barbara Lüneburg (viola) the composer and saxophone player
Burkhard Friedrich performed his work "Liezwicht"
(composed in 1994). Here a viola tuned in a scordatura has to be
used with two bows (with and without rosin). The latter glides over
the strings without any friction and produces a soft noise. Delicate
and hissing sounds, winding lines in the underground, prowling between
dream and dawn in an unreal way. Subtle sounds and softly glowling
tones showed the twighlight in numerous spectra of colours. |

Schleswig
Holstein Musikfestival...In Mauricio Kagel's piece "Klangwölfe"
Barbara Lüneburg lets her sordino-violin whirr and rasp and
paints a delicate dream landscape in the space. Bregenzer
Festspiele...Reduction to the essential, similar to the "spots"
by Frederic Rzewski. Small musical items resound for short
moments. The constant rhythm allows the violin (Barbara Lüneburg)
to play shining melodies like striking lightnings. With John
Cage's piece it is six short inventions: imagination before
working out. To show the variety of interpretation, between pizzicato
and new spectra of sounds. |

Founded 10 years
ago by violinist Barbara Lüneburg and saxophonist and composer
Burkhard Friedrich, ensemble Intégrales is a flexible contemporary
music group which combines electronics with (on this occasion) the
distinctive sound of violin, alternating with viola, saxophone,
percussion and piano. (...) Styles ranged from the high-impact atonal
repeat-patterns of Yannis Kyriakides's "Chaoids" to the
dreamy sonority-orientated meditations of Netochka Nezvanova's
"untitled", where Barbara Lüneburg drew a sensitive
range of sounds from her viola, eventually being joined by Claudia
Birkholz (piano) and Stefan Kohmann (percussion). |
