Intolleranza
Product Details
Description
The Venetian composer Luigi Nono, who died in 1990, has left behind a compositional legacy characterised by his advanced and sensitive musical language, his love of literature and Classicism, and his political ambitions.
Intolleranza 1960, dedicated to Arnold Schoenberg, Nono’s father-in-law, is one of his principle works. The designation ‘Scenic Action’ not only refers to the renunciation of a narrative form of music theatre, but also to the objective of this composition: it is an appeal to take action and to create a self-determined structure in society.
The selection of settings for the various scenes, which includes post-apocalyptic Hiroshima and an Algerian concentration camp, fuses with Nono’s dodecaphonic music with its range of textual and lyrical layers in this momentous document not only of its time.
