“The centre-piece of the evening was a terrific performance of Tierkreis, Stockhausen’s extraordinary rendering of the signs of the Zodiac into musical emblems, written originally for six percussionists and musical boxes. Dunér and Powell’s exposition was an edge-of-the-seat experience, the singer’s obvious facility with the weird contents of the piece fully on show. She had learnt it with the composer and so has lived a long with time with its Babel-inspired collection of polyglot vocalises. There are other versions of the piece floating in cyberspace but Dunér and Powell make a creditable case for theirs to be canonical.”
