If you can find the time and space (by which I mean quiet time afterwards) Stimmung may well prove a key in the lock. There are many, many beautiful sounds in the piece. I listened to it again this weekend after a long time away from it and was transported to another world.

Fine. I'm sorry though, but I just can't. Tried it several times over the years, but I simply cannot begin to get anything from it at all. Clearly I'm not on the same wavelength. My fault, I'm sure. Never mind...

Best,

Alistair

Very possibly! - but then let's not bring Henri into this...

Experiencing Carré for the first time today (bless you Stuart) I found that even without the composer's all enveloping soundfield it had very much the same magic for me as Stimmung: again it's the seemingly unerring ability to put the right sound at the correct point in time to produce a logical continuum: a music at once new yet sounding as if it must always have existed...somewhere.

...and perhaps it's also good to remember that as with Gruppen there's something to Carré beyond what stereo can actually capture. Perhaps now we'll see surround recordings of them (or are there some out there already?)...

Ollie, the de Leeuw/Knussen/Spano 'live' recording (ET'CETERA) is the one SACD in the Schönberg Ensemble big box. That's just Gruppen, by the way. At 22' 25" it has to be one of, if not the, shortest SACDs issued.

Had exactly the same experience with Gesang der Jungelinge yesterday. Seriously affecting on any number of levels.

Nice to know that his levels are at least global, even though they are also metered (does he have to put a shilling in from time to time?); in the light of your post, however, I'll never again be able to hear the phrase "level playing field" again without thinking of Le Martle avec Meter...

Best,

Really?! What a curious affliction.

Do you also confuse Field Masses with fieldmice?
