Zeitgeist, for two pianos - every extended piano technique you imagine, often simultaneously!
Makrokosmos I - which was stunning.
Voice of the Whale - performed under spooky blue lighting, with the masks on, sound was perfect, whole thing was gorgeous.

Notably more women in the audience than the Stockhausen in the same venue the week enough - though I've noticed Stockhausen concerts do tend to attract a lot of a certain kind of slightly grubby, sad-seeming older man.

... the week before, not the week enough.

excellent report, thank you! i like crowd details too though most people don't include them. i like to know who shows up. especially i bothered to show up.

i would love to see some george crumb performed. seems like the recordings are a 3/4 strength facsimile of what a live performance could be.
