Stockhausen/Complete Early Percussion Works ....DVD
Stockhausen's early percussion music is among the most visionary of the percussion repertoire. This unique collection features some works which are almost impossible to find elsewhere. Includes Zyklus, a novel composition in terms of its treatment of time and structure and the earliest percussion solo work; Kontakte, a masterpiece for piano and percussion with 4 channel tape; Mikrophonie, calls for six percussionists playing a single instruemnt - a giant tam-tam; Refrain, three performers produce an array of pure tones from their primary instruments to noisy shouted syllable and tongue clicks; Schlagtrio, one of Stockhousen's earliest published pieces, rather than articulating the differences between piano and percussion he is interested in creating a continuum between the two. Available as a 2 CD set or on a single DVD. The DVD edition features full video with stereo, and Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround options. (MODE records)
