Free Music Review: Nono masterpiece plus two, with Pollini and Abbado
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the original recording of one of Nono's masterpieces, with Maurizio Pollini on piano and Claudio Abbado conducting. "Como una ola de fuerza y luz" ("Like a Wave of Strength and Light") was written in 1971-2 commemmorating the death of a friend of Nono's, Luciano Cruz, a Chilean leftist opponent of Pinochet. A 30-minute piece, it features soprano voice, piano, orchestra, and electronics. It is incredible in every aspect, and though challenging, it is one of Nono's more accessible works, the perfect introduction to the work of one of the late 20th century's greatest composers. "...sofferte onde serene..." ("serene waves suffered"), for piano and magnetic tape, is a fantastic 14-minute piece featuring Pollini in the Schoenberg/Webern tradition. Finally, "Contrappunto dialettico alla mente" is a startling radical 20-minute piece for vocals and electronics, with lyrics from Malcolm X and an anti-Vietnam war flier among other sources. The booklet contains the complete text, thankfully, since the vocals are all in Italian. This album was originally issued in 1990, but it has not been available recently in the U.S. .... Grab it quick before it disappears again! DG has now packaged these recordings of "Como una ola..." and "sofferte" under Pollini's name, along with a third piano piece not by Nono (a single-disc taken from the massive Pollini Edition). This disc, from DG's excellent mid-line "20th Century Classics" series, is clearly preferable if you are interested in Nono and not just Pollini.
