| Description: | Rebecca Hardwick, Soprano and George Chambers, tenor Music by Karlheinz Stockhausen - Two songs from IN THE SEVEN DAYS - URANTIA from KLANG - IN THE SKY I AM WALKING From composer Robert Hugill's review of Rebecca and George's performance in 2015: "Karlheinz Stockhausen's In the sky I am walking is an astonishing work... There are twelve songs, performed continuously and each setting a text from Marto Astrov's American Indian Prose and Poetry, an anthology. The texts were dream songs, love songs, war songs and dance songs, all short and aphoristic. Stockhausen composed the first song using just one pitch, the second using two and so on, until the twelfth song reveals the full tone row... After the first few seconds of the work you totally forgot about Stockhausen's composition scheme regarding pitches, such was the amazing variety of tone colour, texture, non-pitched & non-verbal sounds that the performers brought to the work... Such was the performers' consummate technical that we completely forgot that this is a technically demanding work. Both performers were fully inside the performance and created something that was truly astonishing." |
