"Open, with no directionality, I simply listen to the living of a world." (Giorgio Netti) Saxophonist Patrick Stadler, a member of Ensemble Nikel, presents his reading of Netti's monumental cycle necessità d'interrogare il cielo - a chance to immerse oneself into this complex, yet astoundingly beautiful musical world. Netti's aesthetic was formed by Ferneyhough, Grisey, Rihm and Xenaxis, and since his own studies in the 1980s and 1990s, he has developed a highly individual and utterly fascinating musical language. This solo saxophone cycle from the 1990s is one of the milestones in his oeuvre.
