BBC Radio 3
Prom 20: Stockhausen Day (1)
Date Saturday 2 August 2008
Time 6.00pm - c9.10pm
Venue Royal Albert Hall
Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3
One of the most influential composers of the 20th and 21st centuries,
Karlheinz Stockhausen would have turned 80 this year.
Aside from the performance of Punkte ('Points') by the Gürzenich
Orchestra under Markus Stenz on the actual day that would have been
the composer's 80th birthday (Prom 48), this Stockhausen Day offers a
fuller immersion into the work of this uniquely uncompromising
creative force.
This early-evening Prom contrasts a pair of Stockhausen's early works
- Gruppen ('Groups'), which passes ideas between three spatially
separated ensembles, and Kontakte, referring to 'contacts' between
instrumental and electronic sounds - with two recent works - both of
them excerpts from Klang, the large-scale sequence on which
Stockhausen was working at the time of his death last December.
