I love this work!! I heard it when I was 16 and thanks to it I discovered Stockhausen.

I try to be open to all new directions I've got to Stockhausen through Miles Davis, but I get all confuised, I mean I hear this and don't know what to think I try to be open but I can't help thinking that if I would hear something random electronic stuff without any meaning and one whould say it's Stockhausen I would belive it and couldn't make any difference have you ever considered that? I'm not saying his bad I can't judge that

Well to a certain extent I can take your point. However, if you imagine yourself seated in a darkened auditorium with this work being projected quadraphonically around you, you may get some idea why it is special. Of course Electronic sound is a leveller and the only way you would recognise it as specifically Stockhausen would be by familiarising yourself with the likes of Nono etc. To me, its the religious subtext that makes this Stockhausen.

Yeah more or less the some is the problem with Gruppen I've heared the idea of 3 orchestras placed differently I thought that's great could lead to interesting things, but it doesen't really come through on radio

Indeed, Stockhausen always made it clear that his recordings were second best to a live performance. One of his works "Sternklang" features 5 music groups spatially seperated across a park.You walk through the park and as you do so the sounds fluctuate between the groups creating geometric shapes in which you are a part.

I understand your views, but you must read the complete interview. He was totally misquoted. He said that 9/11 was the devil's work (and as such, it was a work of art), and he said it was wrong to kill people who did not want to die.

...and it would be beautiful. that of course, isn't true, because although how wonderful, vast and entertaining art is, it shouldn't come at the cost of a human life, and no art that does is beautiful.

In the case of 9/11 they didn't die for the sake of beauty, I think that sort of notion can be held in contempt. However, someone found beauty within the event. There is a strict distinction. This matter is now clear and this discussion can end.
