Karlheinz Stockhausen: Michaels Reise um die Erde (Donnerstag aus Licht, II)

[@FredZinga]

It reminds me of MILES!!!! WONDERFUL

[@falks.9386]

We need more great productions like this, the Licht cycle seems to be underperformed.

[@joancunha8641]

"Le Balcon" will perform Donnerstag at La Philarmonie de Paris on November 15th ;) Then they will set the whole Lich Cycle for the next 10 years..!

[@Stockymusicfan]

I'll try to make a new production in the next years, both as a keyboard player and conductor in the same production. At the La Scala Theatre

Una maravella de tema. Un bon espectacle. Gràcies per compartir!

[@andreasschneider3488]

Habe die Uraufführung gesehen in Mailand. Unvergesslich! Großartiges Werk

[@Stockymusicfan]

Im Jahr 1980?

[@andreasschneider3488]

@@Stockymusicfan 1981 Die UA stand unter keinen guten Stern: Der Chor streikte, weil er mehr Geld wollte, deswegen ist der 3. Akt erst später aufgeführt worden. Ich selber habe nur die ersten 2 Akte gesehen, für später keine Zeit und vor allem keine Karten mehr. :)

Probably the best thing Stockhausen ever wrote

[@Bagazille]

there is even worse?

[@timothyc5878]

@@Bagazille Well, yeah. I'll be the first to admit I really don't like much of Stockhausen's work, but there's parts of this that are actually pleasant.

@tribute1985 me parece que sí, porque después en 02:50 suena muy parecido, con menos instrumentos.

[@unclechristo]

beautiful staging - . I saw the London version many years ago - wonderful but not as pretty as this one looks. - thanks so much for posting..

[@fietsvriend]

There was recently a version from Pierre Audi in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in a totally different but fantastic version, not on sale yet

[@jsabuilds2404]

An accurate representation of Thursdays on Jupiter.

Why did the Eva-Bassethornist have almost no costume?

[@Stockymusicfan]

No joke, just a question

[@oscarrocabert6268]

What would Mr John Zorn say about this?

[@ChangHigh]

Creative urantian related music.....

[@allaboutexperience1046]

I am confused by Stockhausen. I don't find him a difficult composer, more interesting, dramatic, expressive, very very original, intellectual, deeply conceptualist. But not great melodically.

[@Bagazille]

Its strange, i am an admirer of Bach, Beethoven, Händel etc... but for me Stockhausen is merely noise.... sounds like bad dramatic film music to me... and i treid several pieces i have been recommended... is it just ignorance? Or is this new classic music beyound beauty?

[@depauleable]

don't worry, it's just ignorance.

[@depauleable]

or unjust ignorance rather I guess

[@nathanbarnes4740]

To appreciate this style of music, you have to listen to it in a different way. Where as the music of the composers you mentioned has a distinctive way it deals with pitch, duration, textural etc elements, this style of music has a totally different set of protocols governing their them. Of course this can seem very alienating if you're trying to find reference points from the baroque, 1st Viennese school etc. This is understandable but if you want to pursue it, maybe start with a piece of his called Trans. It's orchestral and is probably the most accessible piece he ever wrote. In order to acclimatise to this music, I suggest listening to one piece a couple of times a day for about a week or so. To get into it you have to train your brain not to look for things in the music that it is use to finding, such as traditional melodic, harmonic and rhythmic devices.

[@Stockymusicfan]

Probably you don't listen to His music enough

[@olivierbrems7358]

I think you have to know musical history to understand this. How towards the end of the 19th century classical 'romantic' music became more and more "hyper". The melodies got more and more captivating and wilder moving towards kitch, the orchestra's got bigger and bigger the rythmes faster and faster, it all became more and more over the top, to a braking point. Classical music couldn't move any further. Schonberg had to come to brake it all down and the other composers moved on from there to a post melodic music that reflected the chaos of society after the world wars and the strange new technological developments in engineering and electronics. But indeed you move towards a radical different musical area where music does not confirm society but is critical of it and you don't do that with nice ear striking melodies. It's not music that suits you but that makes you think, well if it succeeds in getting trough at least.
