The first was at the opening of the HANGAR-7 in Salzburg. There's a
documentary about it: http://www.bfmi.at/stockhausen.htm
I only found one image of the show in high quality:

Earlier today
in Rome there was a performance of
Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet (the third ever
worldwide) in which the four members of a string
quartet perform in as many helicopter hovering
above the concert hall, with the resulting music
being reproduced for the audience inside.
I've not seen any engineering reports on it so far,
but it must have been a nice challenge as well.
wow. somebody finally did it? i
know there have been at least two
attempts before, and both were cancelled as the expenses were
skyrocketing :) <flamebait>while i do have a soft spot for the
old geezer from sirius, i
think the money would have been better spent on a whole bunch of other
works less heavy on artistic hubris and a bit better equipped in the
taste department.</flamebait>
I understand why they do it on time, but why repeat it?
