The four works on this disc come from the first nine years of a compositional career that would span almost another half century. Yet today, one scarely hears them as 'early Stockhausen,' but rather as a series of essential cornerstones of the emerging post-war European avant-garde on which Stockhausen, as the youngest composer involved, exercised a crucial influence. What should strike one is not what these pieces have in common, but how different they are from one another. Each exemplifies a phase of Stockhausen's early development.
