Stockhausen marathon at the Musikfest Berlin

Over 10 years after his death, Karlheinz Stockhausen still occupies a complex and difficult place in the canon of contemporary composers. This year's Musikfest Berlin featured a Stockhausen focus, of which the "creation ceremony" Inori was the climax.
Sternenhoch: Delightful depravity in Prague

The National Theater takes a bold step forward with a smart realization of a literary grotesquerie.
A ghost of an opera at BAM

David Lang’s new opera the loser opened the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Wednesday night, but simply lacked theatricality.
Spiritually-charged Luigi Nono at Musikfest Berlin

The Rest is Noise: Adams' El Niño
Southbank Centre's The Rest is Noise festival came to an end with John Adams' oratorio El Niño, composed in 2000. The London Philharmonic Orchestra suited the piece well, and this was a performance to cherish.
