Summary: Aus besten
Comment: alone you may not find much interest in this Quartet,string timbre was not a favored environ for Karlheinz,no important work was ever done; it did give Arditti something incredibly exciting to play away from their typically steroid clammee cold abstraktions they admire and market in Europa; each player(s) mounts their own helikopter and must recite at some point counting numbers in German , the way Luzifer does in Samstag,also from LICHT numberings are very important to the cosmological opera LICHT from which this Quartet is from Wednesday, Mittwoch,One opera for each day of the Woche; the piece also requires a technician in each helikopter and one on the ground, to coordinate the proceedings, much like Stockhausen has done admirably thtoughout his life world, again the KonZept alone is worth contemplating, whorling/worlling, horgling, whizzing, bHuzzing,czuZzing,feigning cZorling dirvishes,lots of glissandi, and helikopter machine sounds abound cirling round; Grand Street Mag published this, if you want/care to see the graphic score, nothing too exciting as sTockhausen goes goos . . ., there was also a marketable film made of this . . .

Summary: inquietante grabaciòn
Comment: Como siempre, Stockhausen sorprende con sus conceptos.
Excelente disco que muestra la bùsqueda en el campo musical.
Aunque yo esperaba algo màs: tal ves una mayor interacciòn de los helicòpteros con el resto de los elementos, con un tratamiento màs cercano a un instrumento musical, pues a pesar de que su presencia es patente los siento como un fondo, muy planos, sin grandes contrastes.
En ocaciones los colores y texturas de los violines se mezclan con los de los helicòpteros y las voces (eins, zwei, drei,usw) resultando una masa informe de sonido, perdiendo la valoraciòn tonal de cada uno de ellos.
¿Què faltò? no lo se, tal vez considerar a la màquina voladora con otra intenciòn y jugar con otras posibilidades (bloquear su sonido, matizarlo, graduarlo, jerarquizarlo).
Como sea, la grabaciòn bien vale la pena de escuchar varias veces para ir descubriendo sus cualidades.
