Karlheinz Stockhausen —
Sirius ... LP DeutscheGrammophon (Germany), 1980. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ...
Out Of Stock
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!)
"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
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
