Raymond, thanks for your story. Stimmen is a symphony in 12 parts. Here too
there is a lot of difference in the quality of the individual parts. Some,
though really the minority, are really good in my humble opinion, and there are
some which I find mediocre and some which are terrible. I didn't know
Gubaidulina untill recently when I heard one of her string quartets. I ordered
Stimmen ( and Stufen, again, of which the first part is really beautiful, but
not the rest), because I wanted to hear more and because this CD with the
Stockholm got very good reviews on Amazon. The Nono CD got very good reviews
too. Sometimes I think that almost everything gets good reviews on Amazon. Or
maybe it's just me getting Alzheimer. I recently bought Five pieces for
Orchestra by Schoenberg. The Ode to Napoleon is also on that CD. After many
years, I listened to it again. I don't like this piece. I also bought
Stravinsky's Symphony in C - it doesn't do a thing to me. Best regards, Will
