Scarce live recording from the early postwar European avant garde, documenting a fantastic late 1950s concert of Boulez' Domaine Musical society at a time when these young composers were exploding the ideas of serialism and atonality into a newer and more radically experimental music. This album contains one of David Tudor's earliest recordings, performing the Stockhausen piece. The Boulez and Pousseur are played by Alfons and Aloys Kontarsky, and the Kagel is conducted by Boulez. Vega's Presence de la musique contemporaine was probably the first series dedicated to issuing this new avant garde on lp, also releasing recordings of Luigi Nono, Andre Jolivet, Luciano Berio, Olivier Messiaen, and Anton Webern.

artist info from album notes etc.:
German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was a student of Olivier Messiaen and a contemporary of John Cage and Iannis Xenakis, and worked with Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, Karel Goeyvaerts, and Mauricio Kagel; he pioneered electronic music at the INA-GRM musique concrete studios of Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Luc Ferrari, Francois Bayle, and Bernard Parmegiani, at NHK Tokyo where Yori-Aki Matsudaira, Minao Shibata, Toshiro Mayuzumi, and Jon Appleton also composed, and at WDR Koln along with Herbert Eimert, Henri Pousseur, Gottfried Michael Koenig, Gyorgi Ligeti, Franco Evangelisti, Konrad Boehmer, Anestis Logothetis, and Herbert Brun, and he explored improvisation and live electronics with David Tudor, Vinko Globokar, and Michel Portal. Kagel is a composer of experimental music and music-theater, conductor, and filmmaker who studied literature under Jorge Luis Borges; he was influenced by Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Erik Satie, and Harry Partch, he worked on early electronic music at the WDR Koln studios, and he lectured at the famous Darmstadt courses where he mingled with Luigi Nono, Earle Brown, Pierre Boulez, and Olivier Messiaen. Henri Pousseur worked with Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, Luciano Berio, and Stockhausen, and composed music at European early electronic music studios such as those at Milan and Koln. Boulez is an influential French postwar composer, conductor, writer, and lecturer who worked with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio, Pierre Schaeffer, Iannis Xenakis, and Gyorgi Ligeti, and was a student of Arnold Schoenberg and Olivier Messiaen.
