“Marcus Antonius Wesselmann conceals his provocation behind the abstraction of his titles. dec (2007) is a 'chaos concert' with piano confronting the hard-hitting minimalism of Andriessen. (…) The Fight Will Go On (2013) is a 'chamber concerto' whose 19 soloists perform a Spanish Civil War anthem as combatively as are these performances from Ensemble Modern with Franck Ollu. (Richard Whitehouse)

“‘Chaos Concert’ is the subtitle of the ensemble piece ‘DEZETT’ (2007), and in fact the music of the Cologne composer Marcus Antonius Wesselmann is characterized by irrepressible energy and seemingly wildly proliferating sound constellations. […] … in terms of sound it’s like a big band with sand in its gears, and even Frank Zappa occasionally peeks around the corner.” (Dirk Wieschollek)
