The piece was revised several times (a couple of times in the decades after 1962, too), and the original version was considered unplayable (I think it was never performed or recorded). Which version do we hear here? I suppose it is a recording from the early sixties, presenting the 1962 version, right?
This specific recording comes from a Donaueschinger Musiktage compilation. I'll have to check the book, but if my memory serves me your supposition is correct...

Yes it is. It's a recording of the world premiere performance conducted by Boulez.
This is Stockhausen?? I thought "Punkte" was by Aschtun Kutscherr!
