Georg Friedrich Haas: "In Vain", Swiss Premiere at the Theater Basel, May/June 03, Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Jürg Henneberger, Visual Concept: Olaf Nicolai, Film Realisation/Production: Olaf Nicolai, Volker Sattel

…. Jürg Henneberger and the musicians of the Ensemble Phoenix Basel are truly admirable for their endurance and the never diminishing intensity of their play. Also for the minutes throughout which they played in total darkness! Those were, by the way the evenings most forceful minutes.
Schweizer Zeitung, 17.5.03, Elisabeth Schwind

... Sounds of the city which can not be reduced to a specific picture, but rather rise out of the joint “sound” of pictures and of life sensations. A functional concept, because the musicians of the Ensemble Phoenix Basel under Jürg Henneberger feel comfortable in using microtonal harmonies.
Die Welt (The World), 19.5.03, Karsten Umlauf

... How courageously the Ensemble Phoenix Basel under Jürg Henneberger dived in this sound world and managed to preserve the intensity for 70 minutes was absolutely top class.
Aargauer Zeitung,(Aargau Newspaper) 19.5.03, Sibylle Ehrismann

... The Ensemble Phoenix Basel under Jürg Henneberger played magnificent.
Blick, 17.5.03, Hans Uli von Erlach
