Zyklus : für einen Schlagzeuger in zwei Fassungen ; Klavierstück X by Karlheinz Stockhausen( )

4 editions published between 1985 and 2012 in No Linguistic content and German and held by 245 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

" Einen ganz besonderen Leckerbissen bietet die vorliegende, dem Komponisten Karlheinz Stockhausen gewidmete Veröffentlichung, da sie dessen Zyklus für einen Schlagzeuger (1959), eines der zentralen Werke für solistischen Perkussionisten aus der Zeit nach 1950, in zwei unterschiedlichen Fassungen einander gegenüberstellt. [...] Dass das Stück dadurch einen abweichenden Charakter bekommen kann, macht der Vergleich zwischen der 1960 entstandenen Einspielung durch Christoph Caskel, dem Interpreten der ersten Stunde, und der 1963 aufgenommenen Wiedergabe durch den amerikanischen Schlagzeuger Max Neuhaus deutlich. [...] Als weiteres Bonbon neben dem Zyklus bietet die CD Frederik Rzewskis Einspielung von Stockhausens Klavierstück X (1954) aus dem Jahr 1964, die auch heute noch nichts von ihrer Frische verloren hat und besonders durch die spannungsvollen Pausen wirkt. Der Ton aller drei Stücke, ursprünglich 1965 auf LP veröffentlicht (WER 60010), wurde für die vorliegende Veröffentlichung adäquat restauriert und überzeugt durch seine Präsenz und Wärme."(Stefan Drees, klassik.com, 3. Februar 2013)
