I actually think "Gesang der Jünglinge" is quite enjoyable but for most of his other stuff, I'm tempted to agree. More to be appreciated for its pioneering aspect rather than the musical content, maybe?
depends! if you are looking for something you know already, then Stockhausen is no good destination to travel. but if you are interested to to take a trip through uncharted musical landscapes, then even the oldest Stockhausen recordings are still an adventure. yes, maybe that's hard work. but KONTAKTE, HYMNEN, GESANG DER JUENGLINGE, GRUPPEN and INORI are still worth the effort. and, btw, *comparisons* between Kraftwerk and Stockhausen are ridiculous. it's like comparing the Beatles with Brahms. jan _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
