The Austro-American trumpeter Michael Mantler has been concerned with the reciprocal relationships between music and literary texts for years. He’s set texts by Samuel Beckett (No Answer), Edward Goerey (The Hapless Child) and Harold Pinter (Silence) to music. In all of those recordings, Mantler used more traditional, smaller ensembles.

On Many Have No Speech, he uses an orchestra for the first time. Here he set texts by Samuel Beckett, Philippe Soupault, and Ernst Meister to music. The work on this production took a year and a half: the recordings took place in London, New York, Boston and Copenhagen. This was due in no small part to Mantler's choice of singers; in addition to Jack Bruce and Robert Wyatt (with whom Mantler had worked on previous albums), Many Have No Speech also features Marianne Faithfull – another of those "broken voices" that Mantler holds in such high regard.
