condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (spine wear and minimal ring wear) Insert included. | Hans Werner Henze's Der langwierige Weg in die Wohnung der Natascha Ungeheuer ("The Tedious Way to Natasha Ungeheuer's Apartment") is a notable avant-garde "show for 17". Commissioned by the European Broadcasting Union, this work is a fusion of modern classical, free jazz, and electronic music that reflects Henze's socialist political engagement of the era. It symbolically depicts the struggle of a left-wing intellectual attempting to navigate the temptations of the "bourgeoisie".
