i can send you the recording if you want

Yes, I am very impressed by the serious work done, the engagement of the musicians and the will to give a satisfactory interpretation of this work - all this merits great respect...but as a listener, all I hear is a jumble of noises! I think one of the chief problems with modern music is that the composers indulge a lot into all sorts of intellectual entanglings that are all very interesting for them themselves, and start to forget the listener over it.

[chickenringNYC]

Understandable, except this is a rehearsal of a piece for three orchestras, recorded on a digital camera with a crappy little microphone and crappy visual resolution which could never in a billion years recreate the experience of actually sitting in the middle of this musical universe, for a full performance. That's the reason people would come from all over Europe to hear it.

[DannyDaWriter]

Wow, you're STILL at this?

[laurion69]

Stockhausen was a poor fool, who composed a huge quantity of non-sense music.

[SirJonathanTavener]

To the ear of a simian like yourself, perhaps. To the ear of an educated connoisseur, Stockhausen = Genius.

[SirJonathanTavener]

Yes, quite similar to your genetic crap - although the music is genius, your genes are shit. Thanks for making that so obvious you moronic ape.

Now go hang from your favorite tree, pick your ass, and please, leave room for a banana.

Ear Terror!!
