This is the first recording to use digital technology for the electronic processing. Described as a highly accomplished presentation of one of the landmark pieces in the second half of the 20th century (The Guardian, UK) and a very clean, precise and thoroughly captivating take on one of Stockhausen's strongest works (Amazon), the album already received praise for a new serenity, inexhaustible joy, clockwork precision (Amazon) and a wonderful sense of poise (Classical CD Reviews). The CD received a Diapason d'Or from the Diapason magazine (France) and a Supersonic Award from Pizzicato magazine (Luxembourg) in addition to the nomination for the International Classical Music Awards.
