| Re: Stockhausen
Markus Stockhausen, Karlheinz's son is an absolutely tremendous trumpet player. Karlheinz wrote a great deal of music for his son, and i think the trumpet played a central role in his Opera (about the planet Syrius where Stockhausen was born apparently). I attended a masterclass with Markus many years ago, and was "blown away" by both the trumpet music of his father and Markus's extraordinary viruosity and modesty (unlike his dad of course)! As you all can imagine this is music from a different galaxy and requires an extra-terrestrial technique and imagination to play it. It is such a shame that Markus does not receive more exposure in Europe.
Rest in Peace Mr.Stockhausen |
