Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Symbolistic Stockhausen
No other author has ever examined Stockhausen's mysticism and myths, probably because in the past they have been deemed extramusical. This symbology can also be difficult to fathom if one doesn't know what to look for. This helpful guide shows how symbols penetrate the listener on many levels and sheds light on the creative world of this composer's 50 years of output.
