Luigi Nono: Como una ola de fuerza y luz, for Soprano, Piano, Orchestra & Magnetic Tape (1971-72) / ...sofferte onde serene... For Piano & Magnetic Tape (1976) / Contrapunto dialettico alla mente, for Magnetic Tape (1968) - Maurizio Pollini / Claudio Abbado
Luigi Nono was one of the most original and influential composers to emerge from post war Italy. Having always guided by a keen awareness of social unity (he joined Italy's Communist party in 1952) Nono's works often take the form of highly empowering expressive public spectacles. Here among others, two of the composers more famous longstanding champions of his work Mauricio Pollini and Claudio Abbado perform three of the composers most evocative works- the 'Sofferte Onde Serene' and 'Contrappunto Dialettico alla Mente' written specifically for them. If you enjoy the efforts of Stockhausen and Ligeti, Nono will certainly be of interest as well.
