Notes & Reviews:
Gramophone
From today's vantage point it would be easy to underestimate the impact of Stockhausen's unheralded use of his resources - three conductors, three orchestras, a multi-layered soundscape defined bye material moving at many simultaneous speeds, and concepts of harmony, rhythm and counterpoint that saw him exploding tradition against a big-bang theory of modernism.
The Musical Times
A landmark in 20th-century music... probably the first work of the post-war generation of composers in which technique and imagination combine on the highest level to produce an undisputable masterpiece.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Groups (Gruppen) of sounds, noises and sound-noises are completely independent units. Each groups moves within its temporal space. Above all in its own tempo.
German Professor
Stravinsky noticed Stockhausen's calculations demanded a metronome mark of 63.5. Of course, point 5.
The Guardian
... one of the most remarkable and thrilling achievements of the whole total-serial aesthetic.
Recording information: Philharmonie, Groáer Saal, Berlin, Germany (12/1994).
