Abstract: "Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) was one of the most important Italian composers of the twentieth century. His music is admired by performers and listeners as much for its lyrical expressivity and emotional power as for its clarity of form and construction. As well as writing several operas (including the one-act The Prisoner and the later full-length Ulysses), Dallapiccola composed a large number of works in which the human voice, whether solo or in chorus, plays an important role.
