There is a new series of Stockhausen concerts in London and on the radio. The author/compiler of Stockhausen on Music, Robin Maconie, who interviewed Karlheinz Stockhausen over a period of years, will be in conversation with Robin Worby on 'Hear and Now', Radio 3, this Saturday and next, 22.30 to midnight. The BBC Symphony Orchestra performed Inori at the Barbican.
Written in 1973-74, Inori is based on prayer-like gestures interpreted on stage by a mime and a dancer. The expressive movements, performed by the two silent soloists and drawn from a variety of religious practices, are mirrored in the response of two orchestral groups.
For those who like peaceful sounding music with the odd jolt to the senses.

Stimmung is one of my all time favorites.......went to a performance at the Festival hall in the 80s....best listened to through headphones in the dark - must be warm enough to really relax - while lying on the floor. Glass of wine optional!
The kind of music that enhances life!
