What a great interview! As someone of Kyle's generation, I can assure you he's telling it like it is. (Or was...) And that Feldman quote is sooooo true.
Really bummed that Stockhausen's 'Stimmung' isn't in that DG set, though.
i remember some of these recordings myself, which was a function of 3 elements, in chronological order: the first was that grateful dead bassist phil lesh was himself deeply interested in modern european art music, the second was that sonic arts union member alvin lucier was on the faculty where i went to college and the third was that between 1972-77, my father was transferred to london by the company he worked for, and when i would go over to visit, pierre boulez was the conductor of the bbc and his summer proms programming was exceptional.
so all of that made me more open than most in the early '70s to have heard at least some of the dg series, although obviously i didn't follow the full path of kyle gann or anything.
Concerning the last three of those 5 Stockhausen pieces: MIXTUR is on Stockhausen-Edition #8, TELEMUSIK is on S-E #9 with the two MICROPHONIE works, and STIMMUNG is on S-E #12. Of course, with the exception of the music on #9, newer and better performances do exist. At the time those were made it was a miracle that performers could get the notes right. Now we have a generation to whom this music is second nature.
Yeah, I was looking at his website and thinking about ordering them — but the individual CDs are $30-35 before shipping, and the Paypal button wasn't working, so I don't know what to do.
Paypal opens another page in the back, which doesn‘t pop up and therefor is easily missed. If you push the button the cd gets added in the background. Look for it. Alternatively use my link where i already added those three cds in question.

KG: "But that Gruppen recording is the only one, as far as I know. "
There is another performance of Gruppen, this by the WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln, conducted by Arturo Tamayo, Péter Eötvös, and Jacques Mercier, that was made in 1997 and released through the Hungarian label BMC. It came out on CD in 2006.
