Recorded in Cologne
In the second act of "Donnerstag aus Licht", Michael undertakes a journey around the world in what is essentially a trumpet concerto with orchestra, performed in a huge rotating globe set against a starry firmament. There are seven "stations" along the way, at each of which the music takes on colour from the locale: Germany, New York, Japan, Bali, India, Central Africa, and Jerusalem. Michael's formula gradually evolves from a simple beginning form to increasingly florid extravagance, finally shattering into incoherent fragments in stations 5 and 6. When he reaches Central Africa, Michael hears a distant basset horn, and orders the globe to stop turning. Michael commands the earth to rotate in reverse as the seventh station, Jerusalem, is reached, and he begins a new process of rehabilitation in a therapeutic conversation with a double-bass player. Mondeva appears, and they perform a duet in which their melodic formulas merge and intertwine until each plays the other's formula. Two clownish clarinet players, costumed as a pair of swallows, mock and-together with the orchestral low brass, an emblem of Lucifer-"crucify" him, after which the act ends with a musical "ascension" in which the sounds of the trumpet and basset horn circle around until they are united in a trill. - Hudba
It reminds me of MILES!!!! WONDERFUL
Cette musique est un radeau dans un océan sombre de solitude de mon premier chagrin d'amour 💘
We need more great productions like this, the Licht cycle seems to be underperformed.
"Le Balcon" will perform Donnerstag at La Philarmonie de Paris on November 15th ;) Then they will set the whole Lich Cycle for the next 10 years..!
I'll try to make a new production in the next years, both as a keyboard player and conductor in the same production.
At the La Scala Theatre

Grandiose opera by Master stockhausen
Una maravella de tema. Un bon espectacle. Gràcies per compartir!
A truly great composition.
Thank you for posting this amazing production!
Probably the best thing Stockhausen ever wrote
there is even worse?
@@Bagazille Well, yeah. I'll be the first to admit I really don't like much of Stockhausen's work, but there's parts of this that are actually pleasant.
Revolutionary!
Just seen in Amsterdam the Netherlands, superb!
Aus licht?
@@StockhausenScores Yes indeed
@@fietsvriendhow was it?
@@StockhausenScores Overwhelming experience. The whole scenery, in a former gasworks. Virtuozo young musicians. There was a footage made from it, aired on ARTE tv. Also here on You Tube czcams.com/video/PKGDQH2lVvQ/video.html
Habe die Uraufführung gesehen in Mailand. Unvergesslich! Großartiges Werk
Im Jahr 1980?
@@StockhausenScores 1981 Die UA stand unter keinen guten Stern: Der Chor streikte, weil er mehr Geld wollte, deswegen ist der 3. Akt erst später aufgeführt worden. Ich selber habe nur die ersten 2 Akte gesehen, für später keine Zeit und vor allem keine Karten mehr. :)
@@andreasschneider3488ach gott...
muy bopnito
Merci beaucoup, GruithuisenCityMan!
Crazy awesome!
Creative urantian related music.....
Fantastique, dans tous les sens du terme !
@tribute1985 me parece que sí, porque después en 02:50 suena muy parecido, con menos instrumentos.
beautiful staging - . I saw the London version many years ago - wonderful but not as pretty as this one looks. - thanks so much for posting..
There was recently a version from Pierre Audi in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in a totally different but fantastic version, not on sale yet
What would Mr John Zorn say about this?
An accurate representation of Thursdays on Jupiter.
Why did the Eva-Bassethornist have almost no costume?
No joke, just a question
Its strange, i am an admirer of Bach, Beethoven, Händel etc... but for me Stockhausen is merely noise.... sounds like bad dramatic film music to me... and i treid several pieces i have been recommended... is it just ignorance? Or is this new classic music beyound beauty?
don't worry, it's just ignorance.
or unjust ignorance rather I guess
To appreciate this style of music, you have to listen to it in a different way. Where as the music of the composers you mentioned has a distinctive way it deals with pitch, duration, textural etc elements, this style of music has a totally different set of protocols governing their them. Of course this can seem very alienating if you're trying to find reference points from the baroque, 1st Viennese school etc.
This is understandable but if you want to pursue it, maybe start with a piece of his called Trans. It's orchestral and is probably the most accessible piece he ever wrote. In order to acclimatise to this music, I suggest listening to one piece a couple of times a day for about a week or so. To get into it you have to train your brain not to look for things in the music that it is use to finding, such as traditional melodic, harmonic and rhythmic devices.
Probably you don't listen to His music enough
anche questo è jazz...
What is this world coming to.
I am confused by Stockhausen. I don't find him a difficult composer, more interesting, dramatic, expressive, very very original, intellectual, deeply conceptualist. But not great melodically.
Like spectralistic Wagner.
@tribute1985 you can hear also the start here > /watch?v=UEVV6e1L45k
