BERND ALOIS ZIMMERMANN "REQUIEM FÜR EINEN JUNGEN DICHTER" (LINGUAL 1967-1969)
Although a good portion of the texts are in german it is an overhwelming listening experience (IMHO) also for non-german speakers. Sometimes the words are not clearly audible - wether german or in another language. But it doesn't diminish the impact of the score - au contraire
Since I discovered B.A. Zimmermann (about ten years ago) seriously, he has become one of my favourite composers. A friend of mine made me aware about the LP I post here - it was released not by a label but through the association of the german industries - or better its cultural society.
I was lucky enough to find it several days ago - and what a find...still the music is resonating.
Enjoy!

I haven't a clue what's going on, but I totally agree with 'monoperro'.
I recently stumbled on the version with Schlippenbach on YouTube, not that you get to hear much from his band. Kindly asking: Is a reup of this version possible? I'd really like to hear it.
