Summary: smile
Comment: I actually can't believe the other reviewers gave this 5 stars. The album in its entire made me smile in remembrance of blubbering my lips and making funny noises when I was a child. Maybe it is a masterpiece in Avant-Garde but it is not something I would truly listen to with any enjoyment. I consider myself pretty liberal about experimental music but this just goes to far.

Summary: Karlheinz Stockhausen: Ave Atque Vale
Comment: Karlheinz Stockhausen, one of the more experimental geniuses of contemporary music has died, and though he was highly regarded in his lifetime for his 'invention' of electronic music and pushing the barriers of aural experimentation to limits beyond the imagination of most other composers, his legacy is yet to be fully appreciated.
For the novice whose musical experience has not encountered Stockhausen, this DC of the STIMMUNG as performed by the Singcircle is likely as simple a beginning as any. Rather than being composed for his unique combination of 'instruments', this fascinating work was composed for the human voice in response to ancient concepts and images and ideas - part of the mystical mind of the master composer. This is music for the soul and the imagination and does not demand anything more from the listener than release of physical constraints to open the mind to the planes of experience unknown to many of us until Karlheinz Stockhausen opened the windows. A beautiful recording and an appropriate requiem for a true genius. Grady Harp, December 07

Summary: Thank you Hyperion for taking a chance on this unusual and brilliant composition.
Comment: I love this CD and I rate it 5 stars. However, it is a composition that defies any form of rating system, as it is so unlike anything else out there. If the word 'Alternative' were ever to be used appropriately, it would be for the great Karlheinz Stockhausen. What is remarkable about this recording is that there is nothing heard other than human voices. I am so thankful for Hyperion records for releasing these sorts of works that most companies would dimiss as unmarketable. While it may take a while to get really into Stimmung, something will grab you right away. It's just so totally unlike anything alse you have ever heard.

Summary: A great TwenCen work
Comment: I bought this a couple of years ago and it has remained a strong favourite of mine. Songcircle sing this work with great style and commitment and make the harmonic singing sound very beautiful. The work features all the things we know and love about Stockhausen, including the composer's whimsical sense of humour.
I strongly recommend this disc even to those who are not normally fans of TwenCen music.
This work, Carré, Gruppen and Mantra [also by Stockhausen] are amongst my favourites at the moment.
What a fascinating composer is Herr Stockhausen!

Summary: A lovely composition by a true musical pioneer...
Comment: I listen to every Stockhausen recording I can find. This is one of my favorites. For someone new to Stockhausen's music, this may be good place to start.
