I had the chance to study with Xenakis beginning in the late '90s, but he was so sick by that time, that Gerard Pape was doing most of the teaching at Les Ateliers UPIC. Messiaen was a teacher to both Stockhausen and Xenakis, so it would be natural to gravitate towards his work. |

The lesser of his work is leaps and bounds over most of the new crop of composers, but, you're right, it's a subjective thing based on what you are wanting to get out of it and also how much effort you're willing to put into it. |

There isn't a single work I dislike that I've heard of his, granted some are more greater than others but he was a real genius and mastermind in contemporary music, nobody like him ![]() |

I listened to Orchester Finalisten and Lichter Wasser (both scenes from their respective operas) last night and damn do they have a certain ethereal je ne sais quoi, really gets me on an aesthetic level, stimulates my mind a lot (if that's the right way to say it).
Licht gets too overlooked because of it's size (and I guess because none of the operas have had a truly proper staging because it's near impossible....unless they where turned into opera films). Taken scene by scene, there is a lot to experience, to learn and to get from the cycle. He really put everything into it!! |
