It's been too long since I listened to any of Stockhausen's music. Tonight it's the "Greeting" and first act of Donnerstag aus Licht. I don't begin to understand what's going on here as an opera / story, but the music is wonderful.

Finished up last night with Act 3, scene two and "Michael's Farewell." Whatever plot/story there is still doesn't make any sense to me, but what great music.

Of course we love 'Ollie' over here and he has been big at Tanglewood too (see the American composers thread). 

 

** for my interest, can you guys outside UK listen to Proms on BBC radio iplayer? **

 

Fine evening. On iplayer so don't just take my word for it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ez2gwh#b07m5gx0
