(Late 70s pressing in a slip-case set, with booklet and individual covers. Slip-case has some surface wear, small scrapes and blemishes, a sticker spot, bent a bit at the top edge, shelf wear, and is faded at the spine.)
(Stereo pressing – includes original textured box and booklet. Box has splitting on the spine, a razor mark on the front, and a few smudges of light residue on the back.)
"Kommunion" and "Intensitaet" are 2 pieces from the 12 piece cycle recorded in 1969. The pieces mix acoustic instrumental solos with electronics and tam tam – and the resultant sound has much more of an avant jazz feel than a lot of Stockhausen's other work. Michael Portal is especially good, and plays a range of reed instruments, next to Johannes Fritsch, who also plays alto sax on the session. (Out Sound, Classical)LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 80s pressing. Box has a cutout notch and small torn off portion at the top right, surface wear and aging, spotty blemishes, and an index label at the spine.)
(Privilege Series pressing in a booklet cover, with light wear, small sticker spot, and a worn spot at the bottom seam.)

A great double-length set from Stockhausen, and a wonderful mix of acoustic and electric elements – featuring a whole host of cool electronic sources, augmented by trumpet, soprano, bass, and bass clarinet. This album's one of his classics for DG – and the record's a masterpiece that provides a perfect introduction to his groundshaking music! (Out Sound, Classical)LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes original book inside the gatefold – a great copy!)
One of the more unique Stockhausen albums of the 70s – solo clarinet work, played by Suzanne Stephens – who is in pretty wild stage costumes on both the front and back covers! (Out Sound, Classical)LP, Vinyl record album
Two mindblowing large ensemble performances from Stockhausen – Inori, which has a soloist performing gestures with the orchestra – and Formel, a much older piece that includes vibes, harp, celeste, and woodwinds! (Out Sound, Classical)LP, Vinyl record album
