The second Stockhausen concert has two further works from Klang, the cycle built around time, a focal interest also shared by the film director David Lynch, whose film Lost Highway provided the inspiration for Olga Neuwirth's opera, from which the Suite is taken – all subtle exercises in perception.

Donnerstag (Thursday), the first opera of the Licht (Light) cycle, to which Karlheinz Stockhausen devoted twenty-five years of his life, is the day of Archangel Michael, his youth, journey around the earth and his return. It is also an autobiographical moment in time, overwhelmingly so, in a spiral that leads to the stars and the harmony of the universe.
