I'd like to hear some opinions (if you have listened to the cd) on modern
music for wind instruments by Ligeti, Villa-Lobos (nice surname), Barber,
Hindemith and Stockhausen. Hindemith's "Kleine Kammermusik" was a most
exciting thing for me, lively and even jazzy. On the contrary,
Stockhausen's "Adieu" sounded empty and tiring. 10 minutes of car sirens
is too much although a very meaningful background to the piece can be noted
even without reading the supplied booklet. Thanks.
