DCXX. STOCKHAUSEN, Karlheinz (1928-2007)
Ave (1985)
Suzanne Stephens, basset-horn
Kathinka Pasveer, alto flute
(24:10)
"The magic flutist of fairy-tales, legends, epics and operas has expanded his abilities to an indescribable degree. He no longer makes mistakes. His Adored One no longer sings in ethnic German or any translation, but rather in the most international language of the basset-horn. On their instruments, both can now rush like wind, shout, sing, speak, yodel, weep, sigh and cheer; they play rapid passages in quarter-, sixth- and eighth-tones and other minute steps. Effortlessly, they move in space with daring positions, dancing virtuosity, humor, with much charm and with erotic allusions." -- KS
