Two booklets (48-pages + 12-pages) included. |  Luigi Dallapiccola’s Ulisse (1968) is widely regarded as his final masterpiece and a "summa" of his artistic life. The opera is structured as a musical palindrome—a 13-section symmetrical arch centered around Ulysses’ descent into the underworld. It employs Dallapiccola’s unique 12-note (serial) method, which is often noted for its "jewel-like lustre" and "translucent textures". Critics praise the work’s intellectual depth and the composer's masterly integration of literary influences like Dante, Joyce, and Machado. The music is described as having a "fiercely concentrated lyricism".
