Roberto Fabbriciani (flute), Ciro Scarponi (clarinet), Ingrid Ade, Monika Bayr-Ivenz, Monika Brustmann (sopranos), Susanne Otto (alto), Christine Theus (cello), Giancarlo Schiaffini (tuba) & Alvise Vidolin, Luigi Nono (live electronics) Roberto Cecconi A Pierre (Boulez) is a form of exploration of the dynamic range
that oscillates between ppppp and p.Throughout the work harmonics,
hisses and wafts of air; sounds that elude definition, are added to the complexity of live electronics. In
October 1981, in the heyday of Solidarity, Nono received a commission for a music festival in Warsaw. On
September 13th General Jaruzelsky seized power.The festival was cancelled and Luigi Nono lost contact with
the friends who had invited him, which only stirred his desire to complete the work - the result was Quando
stanno morendo. He dedicated it to 'the Polish friends and comrades who resist in exile, in hiding, in jail, at
work - who continue to hope amidst hopelessness, who continue to hope despite their disbelief'.The course
of Post-Prae-Ludium per Donau is fixed in all its details, but the score is intended only to be a basic guide for the
performer.The technical means of the six-cylinder tuba give the performer freedom to go beyond this guide
and create random sound-events. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
