Par KNUSSEN OLIVER. Paul Griffiths says 'The piece is full of clever and beautiful things - the early scenes proceed almost in convulsions of orchestral brilliance within a marvellously clear and animated world whose chief references, sometimes explicit, are to Ravel and Stravinsky. The scene with the pig is deliciously rich in bass gruntings - that with the milkman cat mixes Marx brohters dialogue with a sophisticated recreation of low musical gags'. The Times, 6 August 1985/ Livre / Livret
