Gruppen

Available for over a year

Stockhausen did not so much compose as create 'happenings'. This 1958 work 'Gruppen' (Groups) for three orchestras (with three conductors!) has been called "an undisputable masterpiece". Music from a far-away universe surely. Composer: Karlheinz Stockhausen Performer: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Martyn Brabbins Conductor: David Robertson Conductor: Pascal Rophé Recording date: 02 August 2008 Date of broadcast: 02 August 2008
