Mind-blowing Stockhausen stuns at the Barbican
All credit to the Barbican for showcasing Stimmung and Cosmic Pulses.
Jacob Jonas The Company
Jacob Jonas has taken the raw intensity of his dancers' best gifts and molded them into a figurative narrative. Ironically, the powerful qualities that Tim Hecker brought to On Me were not evident in his own performance.
Sharing a Stockhausen Momente at the Cité de la Musique
Péter Eötvös conducts the WDR choir and the Ensemble Intercontemporain in Stockhausen at the Cité de la Musique.
Boulez and Stockhausen at The Rest is Noise
After the epic grandeur, sweep and immersive quality of Gesang der Jünglinge at this summer’s Proms, this performance as part of Southbank Centre’s The Rest is Noise festival had a lot to live up to. In many ways, however, this far less ostentatious outing overseen by Sound Intermedia got even closer to the work’s disturbing essence.
Prom 11: Stockhausen's Welt-Parlament makes its London debut
Tonight’s Stockhausen Prom was in equal parts sonic experience and performance.
In an introduction to a performance of Gesang der Jünglinge in 2001, Stockhausen proposed that “if you close your eyes every now and then, you might even see these angels”. In a concert performance this isn’t an empty suggestion; Gesang der Jünglinge is a truly acoustic experience.

Mein Mantra: Geh und hör Dir Stockhausen an!
Beim Holland Festival gelang den Gebrüdern Jussen eine beinah überirdische Interpretation des Stückes Mantra von Karlheinz Stockhausen.
