Very impressive...it seems to hear the real voices of the poor people suffering in Auschwitz! I feel shivers on my spine!!!! Great Luigi Nono!

[@klangschatten5610]

Terrific, tremendous, overwhelming composition.

[@JulietteDaria]

We studied this in music class, I was so scared ;_; But really, it's the most accurate music for Auschwitz.

[@angelosilva4051]

Un ringraziamento sentito al Maestro Luigi Nono per questa sua grande composizione che scrisse con grande partecipazione umana e morale. La sua musica vivrà anche in un lontano futuro. Grazie.

[@hisfavworstnightmare]

‘Nono’ is how i feel about listening to this. terrifying & i’ve seen some really messed up shit. this takes the cake. congratulations luigi i will never sleep again

[@ThePhantomPrincess]

Fantastico. Mette i brividi...

[@francescoarmezzani9803]

really impressive: Nono made what Adorno in the same year wrote about the culture and Auschwitz. I think this music achieved the target

[@a.v.9449]

That all culture after Auschwitz was trash?

[@bloba6969]

I think of this when people say that art consists exclusively of things that are beautiful

[@gregcarbonimaestri]

aiutateci a salvare il Memoriale Italiano !

[@123must]

Stunning ! Thanks a lot

[@LeanderNadeltanz]

I don't know if there is something like hell or purgatory (in a metaphysical manner) but this is how I picture the soundtrack for it. Haunting, uncomfortably claustrophobic and cold as ice... This is some of the few artistic pieces matching appropriately the horrors of Auschwitz, although I shouldn't speak about it, because I never was in Auschwitz - but listening to that piece and the things I read in many books gives me a slight idea about how it must have been there.

[@marcopiaggesi8768]

Well, in the Catholic doctrine, Hell and purgatory differ a lot from each other, and if this piece is fits perfect for Hell, it's a little bit unfit for purgatory . Standing to Dante's description, Souls in purgatory -if you believe in its existance, of course- are saved, and they know it. They'll have to wait a lot, and to suffer a lot, but they will be certainly saved in the end, thay cannot make any mistake that could change their fate for the worse.. The prevalent mood is a patient, soft regret for haviing wasted lifetime, but mixed with a growing, as long as time passes, gratitude for being nevertheless been saved : Sinners of luxury burn, as in hell, but they don't scream or curse god, they sings hymn while burning. Purgatory is pain mixed with joy.

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@marcopiaggesi8768 and Dante's Purgatory is the most human part of his Comedia - since it's in time and not in eternity... it's my favourite part of the poem.

[@fernandocarrazzoni]

We always SHOULD speak about it, even though we were lucky enough to avoid being there. That is how remembrance is kept alive.

[@marchanteangel1698]

Maravilloso pero a no escuchar por la noche.......DA MIEDO

[@visualoscure]

Porca miseria,è fatto benissimo solo ad ascoltarlo mi vengono i brividi sulla schiena pensando a quello che è successo a coloro i quali erano tenuti dentro il campo di rieducazione di cui si parla

[@bosendorfer1991]

Sconvolgente!

[@itamarbar9580]

This... Sounds like exact memories. What a survivor of Auschwitz could hear in his head as he is forced to remember and retell the horrors he witnessed. May we, the jewish people, whether from Eastern Europe , North Africa, America, Western Europe, or from anywhere in the Diaspora: Let us remember. Remember, and never forget. Ricorda cosa ti hanno fatto in Auschwitz.

[@onegathers]

Thank you for this, is this the version on Wergo records?

[@mariadelcarmenveiratejero9084]

Espeluznante

[@mucke4920]

Is there a score for this piece?

[@BrianJosephMorgan]

Bravo.

[@Dronemf11]

best!

[@geoffk777]

From a technical standpoint, just creating this 1966, with the tools and techniques of the time, is a brilliant achievement. Even now, with synthesizers, most composers would be hard-pressed to match the power, horror and timberal range of this piece. When Niki Minaj gets 25,000 views and this gets 25 million, the world will be a better place.

[@Quim141]

Great commentary.

[@mitoproducer1075]

Well, remember everything works with money and promotion. No matter how good or bad it is.

[@animeXcaso]

Good Now spam it around

[@SCRIABINIST]

This isn't even music anymore, this is a straight up horror movie.

[@TheWelleszCompany]

yes

[@theo9952]

It won't be so hard to make them listen. They will be tied up and strapped on a special chair... eyelids taped open to be forced to watch on a big tv screen at close range HOLOCAUST videos, while listening on headphones to Nono's piece. It will be like the character Malcolm McDowel played in the CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

[@cdfbryce]

Yes, but I sure wouldn't want to be the person whose duty was to make them listen!

[@EdoardoFittipaldi]

It's very difficult to associate beauty with this piece of music. But that this is an absolute masterpiece in undeniable. However, its uncompromising realism makes it impossible to have the narcissistic exhaltation that you have in other supposedly "tragic" pieces (e.g., Reger, Prolog)

[@Wesrets]

It gives a similar effect to the finale of the second movement of Shostakovich's 11th Symphony, though it is tonal and not atonal

[@EdoardoFittipaldi]

Il love дш bu and even the 11th, but I wasn't able to find a passage that measeares up with Nono (of course in дш there is plenty of beauty that Nono didn't care of producing. @@Wesrets

[@Wesrets]

@@EdoardoFittipaldi Well i mean, i m comparing tonal music to atonal music

[@theo9952]

101 Strings Plays Beatles' songs ?!!! OH NO ! That would be far too cruel !

[@flavioionita6127]

ciao 3D

[@cdfbryce]

I remember Malcolm McDowel and Clockwork Orange. I'm a gentle person, but I could probably do what you recommend to Neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers! It would be cruel - like if I had to go through that with rap. I can tolerate a little country music, but five hours a day would be a horrible punishment. How about 101 Strings Plays Beatles' songs (and I love the Beatles)?

[@cdfbryce]

It would be horrible. It would be like spending eternity on an elevator!

[@IntlPublications]

On the level of what everybody has in their head in terms of inner films about Auschwitz, this music is guilty of what is called, in film scoring, Mickey Mousing.

[@fernandocarrazzoni]

This makes me think of Lovecraft and space horror. Maybe the Holocaust was Lovecraftianly horrid in nature.

[@wernertrptube]

Mir ist immer noch nicht ganz klar ob Luigi erschaffen wurde um Musiker zu quälen oder die Zuhörer.

[@EdoardoFittipaldi]

Es ist schechthin Musik!

[@claudioorlandi73]

Terribile. Il suono dell'inferno.

[@enricomuzunna7490]

È quasi più spaventevole e terrificante di una canzone cantata da Luciano Tajoli. Quasi...
