condition (record/cover): M/EX Includes 4-page LP-size insert. This essential Deutsche Grammophon release presents two defining works by Luigi Nono (1924-1990), towering figure of post-war Italian modernism. .....sofferte onde serene... (1976), dedicated to Pollini and his wife Marilisa, is a haunting meditation for piano and magnetic tape, recorded at Munich's Herkulessaal. Inspired by the bells of Venice's Giudecca and marked by personal tragedy, the work achieves profound beauty through the dialogue between Pollini's live piano and his own recorded sound, elaborated at RAI's legendary Studio di Fonologia in Milan. A floresta è jovem e cheja de vida (The forest is young and full of life, 1965-66) is a powerful political statement dedicated to the National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam, combining soprano Liliana Poli, voices, clarinet (William O. Smith), copper plates, and tape in a searing spatial sound experience.
