condition (record/cover): EX/EX. Luigi Nono's shattering Como una ola de fuerza y luz (1971-72) mourns Luciano Cruz, young leader of Chile's Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), who died tragically at 27. This monumental work for soprano, piano, orchestra, and magnetic tape – dedicated "para vivir" (that he may live) – unleashes waves of orchestral violence, haunting tape interventions, and piercing vocal lines from texts by Argentine poet Julio Huasi. Maurizio Pollini's piano cuts through with hammering force while soprano Slavka Taskova intones fragments of loss and resistance. Conducted by Claudio Abbado with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, this legendary 1972 premiere recording captures political commitment fused with uncompromising avant-garde power. Y entonces comprendió (1969-70) continues Nono's electroacoustic explorations. Tape realized at RAI's Studio di Fonologia.
