Press reviews for world premiere: Frankenpost vom 18.5.2009 about the performance in Opernhaus Bayreuth on the 15.5.2009:
...four strange-excellent pieces from Enjott Tailor's 'Morgenstern songbook': the dadaistic style collages which flirt with 12-sound composition and Madrigal, rock, jazz and symbolism. There possibly 'a knee goes lonely by the world'. Not on poetry, however, completely on sense there renounces possibly the 'Grosse Lalula' where absurd syllables mutate to textersatz and percussion rhythmics.
