It's a pleasure to have a glimpse into that world of Darmstadt, to hear both of them speak in such an exquisite german with their own personal accents (especially Maderna is wonderful to hear... To catch a sample of his venetian accent after he stumbled on a difficult number is priceless), to look at the immense culture that was being created in that period... Even aknowledging how the Darmstadt movement was a kind of cultural cul-de-sac, and feeling almost compelled to smile at the utter seriousness with which they use what inevitably comes off as a sort of jargon of the avantgarde, one cannot but marvel at the amazing richness, the culture and the intelligence of those composers. This is an extremely precious document, and I thank you for your upload, as well as the plethora of other precious shards of music history on your channel!
