"'One hundred years of New Music -- so what now.' This rhetorical question posed by the promoters of the event provoked various responses. Enno Poppe occupied one corner (a dusty one at that), and Isabel Mundry quite another -- playing the role philosopher. As for Ben Johnston, he celebrated a late Donaueschingen debut with his Quintet for Groups. Brice Pauset, Arnulf Hermann and Bernhard Gander allowed their thoughts to roam a little, as a series of solos receding into the distance, if apparently chaotic when viewed up close, not unlike a disco just around the corner. Saed Haddad demanded luxury goods, and Eduardo Moguillansky held white-hot forms in his hands. Georges Aperghis achieved a remarkable balancing act. Brian Ferneyhough felt, 'The plethora of phenomena that surround us is confusing, incommensurable.' Stay awake, opined Dror Feiler, watch and see how it all develops. Cheers ... let's make a joyful racket!" Stereo/multichannel hybrid SACDs that can be played on any CD player.
