Stockhausen: Stimmung

1. how you come across to it:
From various sources, but first on a certain contemporary music programne many years ago on Radio 4. Excerpt of it is used as the intro music to this programme. When I finally able to hear this entirely on the Hyperion CD, it can't escape my ear.


2. why this piece?
not simply about overtones, etc. It's a piece of art which let the sacred and the erotic sit together comfortably. Sexual fantasy in calmness, evocation within meditation.

3. (and...)
listen, listen, listen
