The 2 of November 2009, at 11:30 AM, the premiere of Numeratorae Inverse started at the catholic cathedral of Arad. Before opening, the composer dedicated the music to the victim of the revolution of 1989: a still taboo subject in Romania. The multifaceted music and brutal sound depicting the recent history of the country first drew catcalls and whistles from the audience. After about 10 minutes there were loud arguments in the crowd between supporters and opponents of the work. These were soon followed by shouts and fistfights. The turbulence in the audience degenerated into a riot. The police arrived, but they restored only partial order. Chaos reigned for the rest of the afternoon, and Adina Spire himself was immediately arrested and put for a night into prison, accused to be responsible of the trouble.

This is the work of an astounding modern music genius and one day the whole world will bow in utter amazement in front of this great artist.
You Romanian people priests and churches beware of your most beautiful flower because one day you are going to say "we are sorry" and we already saw this movie so many times in this stupid world.

Thank you always Adina for your great music and art

This one it's amazing the way it concludes the trilogy, much strong and orchestral in the beggining and with a slowly almost solo ethereal angelic voice at the end.
In conclusion a magnificent trilogy Adina and a great "labour of love" you made with such bravery and a heart.....always full of love & compassion.
Brava,Brava,Brava Adina ;-)

Adina, here the sound is shaped differently, it's like the edge of a razor blade ;-). You know I love the way you work with sound, you have such a great sensitivity on that, you build with tension but I see no anger here.... it's an attractive uplifting soul music wich goes high without resolving..... but strangely enough even if the overall composition mood is minor you have the excellent skills to let it seems somehow the other way round. It's a handsome mirror game like Alice in wonderland wich I like very much Adina

This first part is a masterpiece, I like the way you used the piano against the alternating female and male choirs. It's a liquid tension wich resolves at the very end just for a second in a major chord, but this is very clever from you Adina, it's just a one second resolving glimpse..... so touching the way you've done it.
Brava Maestro Adina I really love this one

Beautiful and sweet both the compositions as the idea to celebrate the almost unknown Jesus sister (and brothers)
To remember the ones who are not remembered the ones who are not known, is a celebration of the invisible wich recours in your music and a strong standpoint of your music and art.

You are never forced to listen in Adina's music.

Here it's like a gentle breeze whisper of the soul, but you must make silence to be able to listen.

This kind of writing is very minimalistic from you Adina but you really got deep inside. You remember a monk here, but you always remember to all of us I guess the strive for freedom both outside (society) and inside every human soul. Thanks for that Adina, you always shine high above with your music and poetry.
