Reviews

Stockhausen's uncompromising attitude to conventional aesthetics has made him one of the world's most admired musicians.
The Independent


The great innovator of the 1950s and 1960s is still a fountain of ideas. Stockhausen on Music shows the extraordinary range of his mind.
The Sunday Times


Let there be no doubt that he is a giant, a monster cartographer of massive new spaces.
