Kritiken
In the quartet concert - a typical Arditti blockbuster - it was not Ferneyhough´s Third which stood out, nor Elliott Carter´s typically convoluted Fourth, nor yet the simplistic Second of Sofia Gubaidulina. In fact, it was Zeitstrahl by Robert Platz, a Cologne-based composer-conductor, which made the strongest impression. The final pages in particular, suggested a mind capable of imagining new sounds and structures without resort to wishful thinking.
David Fanning, The Independent, 23.11.87
The piece (Gubaidulina), on initial impact certainly, was inferior to the works which flanked it, Robert Platz´ Zeitstrahl, whose stratospheric patterning and precisely refined timbres lent it a sense of great space and timelessness...
