»la musica arrederà con atmosfere sospese, pause e silenzi carichi di significato • Una poetica dove lo spazio viene conquistato palmo a palmo e dove i dialoghi avvengono in punta di suono« • La Unione Sarda, 1 Nov 2009
»une tension qu’on ne peut qualifier que d’électrisante • l’auditeur [...] discernera dans cette musique, dans la prolifération des textures et des climats, tout un monde de réminiscences qui le conduira de la pop au hip-hop [...] en passant par l’abstraction du free«... read more • Citizenjazz.com, 5 Oct 2009
»Markus Stockhausen, cinquantadue anni, trombettista e compositore • ha costruito una propria strada, originale e profonda, in quell’universo musicale che ha visto suo padre, quale dominatore del secondo ’900, carismatico evangelizzatore della musica elettronica, sperimentatore estremo e visionario«...

»parecem enviar música para o espaço • Soa bem: Stockhausen tem um discurso fluido, sempre interessante e o grupo que contribui está focado«... read more • jazz.pt, 1 Sep 2008
»Que voilà un beau disque ! • la beauté du timbre et la fluidité de l’articulation chez le trompettiste, la sonorité puissante mais jamais dure, d’Angelo Comisso, le drumming subtil et mélodique de Christian Thomé, [...] confèrent à cette musique une aristocratique bea«... read more • www.citizenjazz.com, 10 Nov 2008
»Snètberger [...] deliver solos that [...]sound remarkably close to two guitaris • On Streams, however, despite its many moods and tempos, is about finding melody in every possible nook and cranny and, as such, makes for a thoroughly engaging listen from start to finish«... Read original • All About Jazz, 1 Jan 2007
»one of the finer records of 2004 • more remarkable is a group of musicians who have already created a work in a specific genre, and show the capability of migrating as a whole, into a completely different area«... Read original • All About Jazz, 28 Oct 2008

»dodging any simple description or category affiliation • They also worked the room in poetic, spatially conscious ways. Opening their set, the pair entered slowly from the wings with long tones, and to close, they engaged in a dialogue from far corners of the room«... Read original • Los Angeles Times, 1 Dec 2006
»an enthralling and evocative essay in sonority • Most of all, though, it's an enthralling and evocative essay in sonority, beautifully shaped, full of ravishing sound complexes, and one that Stockhausen played with consummate authority«... Read original • The Guardian, 8 Jul 2005
»Flowing kaleidoscopic landscapes • The trumpeter/flugelhornist constructs pensive, brooding improvisations of acoustically pure sound, causing the music to swell to huge proportions as it commandeers the aural senses« • AAJ, 1 Feb 2005
»Un disco che potrebbe essere benissimo considerato un ECM, ricercato ed elegante • Gli ottoni affascinano per il controllo del colore che il musicista tedesco riesce ad ottenere, dolce, delicato, e allo stesso tempo imperioso e determinato. I pezzi scritti dal trombettista si distinguono per un profilo più ruvido e minima« • www.musicologi.com, 27 May 2005
»Rooms built out of the transitory material of sounds • Markus Stockhausen and his partner Tara Bouman opened worlds of sound through their performance, which the audience ever and again shifted into conditions of a certain ecstasy« • Badische Zeitung, 25 Sep 2002

»Una musica inclassificabile, per quanto tendente al moderato • Markus lavora sugli esempi di assoli jazz di un ampio tragitto che sta sulla strada principale tra «moderno» e free, si abbandona a giochi di scale e arpeggi lineari« • II Manifesto Roma, 26 Apr 2003
»Their union oscillates between rap-inspired secular intensity and overt spiritua • The trumpeter’s vibrant and reverberant tone again sets the standard for this set that also features pieces with either percussionist Marcelli or clarinetist Bouman. Together, the brothers Stockhausen cause the music to take radical turns« • AAJ, 30 Nov 1999
