蜜芽传媒

蜜芽传媒 Proms: Theatre of Voices and Paul Hillier had already released a magnificent recording of Stimmung a year before this Prom (one which lends 鈥榚ven more enchantment to this extraordinary work鈥�, according to The Guardian). But this hypnotic piece for 鈥榮ix singers and six microphones鈥� takes on a unique atmosphere when performed live 鈥� as in this 2008 Prom.

Stockhausen: Stimmung (Copenhagen version)
Theatre of Voices
Paul Hillier (director)

Original performance from 2nd August 2008 presented by Louise Fryer.

In 2020, 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats, from the past and the present, in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts.

Among many influences that Stockhausen acknowledged when composing the work was a month spent wondering among Mexico ruins. The Theatre of Voices 鈥� as adept in music of the Middle Ages as in new music 鈥� have made something of a specialty of Stimmung, and Hillier鈥檚 long association with the piece includes his participation as one of the singers at a Prom performance 30 years ago.
