Nono is beautifully grounded in Webern here, with his own sensibility. The conductor conveys real organicism. So few music figures really get to Life thru their work. Nono's complete work should be studied and absorbed. We're lucky to have this video.

Thank you so much!

Omitting the lengthy spoken parts and going straight to the music is welcome. Those who love this work will be familiar with 'full' versions anyway and this approach does not restrict interest to those who do not speak Italian or German. When played to this phenomenal standard SWR has essentially revived a very beautiful masterpiece which, in many ways, links to compositions which followed -- notably by Henze, Maderna, Birtwistle and others. The "floating canto" device in regular use in music after this work remains a central key stone in so many pieces regardless of their being 12 tone or using other basic pitch and harmonic styles. Its advantage is that is provides delineation of 'layers' which can be used linked to motifs, harmonies and even blocks of orchestral focal points. Later Boulez, Penderecki and some Baltic composers of high technical ability were able to thrive using this approach. I wonder if Nono realized how liberating this work would be when it was let out of the Darmstadt intellectual narrow mindedness which Stockhausen himself never liked, so the association is often unjust to him. This was at a time when young Boulez and others declared all music before Schoenberg obsolete as silly young men who creatively ditched that -- because music is music and "The New Music" (as it was called) would also be temporally dynamic. In addition, there were political elements at a turbulent time which too frequently hampered the evolution of the last quarter of the 20th century which cannot be overlooked. With all of these distractions we are very lucky that Nono took the Canto's precision and beauty even further, calmly in sonic terms if not texts, to 'Prometeo' and some late works composed as his health began failing and he died at 64. Far too little of his music is performed now and those who did not have the privilege of being alive during that 'New Music' phase and into later evolutions really would benefit from the lack being attended to. Why? Because Nono's extension of the Webern aesthetic into new ways of making beautiful sounds which found their way into later works explains so much. The man had music in his entire being and it is not far-fetched to link his work to Gesualdo and earlier as well as music being composed now. Precision and beauty of sound could be a definition of music.

Thank you very much for your detailed comment and your positive assessment of the interpretation. Your knowledge of Nono is impressive!

[@gotzpahl6302]

Once again our musical horizon has been broadened by the masterful interpretation of a modern classic.

[@mateuszfandri8086]

Very convincing performance of great poetic composition by Nono! Congratulations for all musicians: conductor, soloists, choir and orchestra. It is so difficult to perform such music but when you do it in possibly highest level of technique and with deepest commitment you can present it as an really attractive and touching, even if music aesthetics are sometimes harsh and brutal. Fantastic job and pleasure to listen!

[@alejov923]

Thanks so much for this! An excellent opportunity to watch a video performance of this piece.

First heard that work on CD with Bruno Maderna and read the texts later on. Was deeply touched!

Dobbiamo alla esemplare prova d’orchestra per ritrovarci uniti in questo stupefacente lavoro di Nono, noi italioti incapaci di estrarre la densità melodica per incapacità personale e per una destra infame che attanaglia tutti!

La musica è adeguata al soggetto. Sono cantate le lettere di addio dai combattenti della resistenza che hanno lottato contro il fascismo e sono stati condannati a morte. Lo stiamo sperimentando anche oggi in Iran, in Russia, in Myanmar e altrove.

Ich lebe seit 30 Jahren mit klassischer Musik aber so was find ich einfach nur scheuslich. Es gibt genug schöne moderne Musik. Auch atonale! Auch an die Grenzen des nicht schön seiend gehende. Aber dafür auch noch Geld zu zahlen? Mich wundert, dass da keiner rausgegangen ist. Nennt mich Banause. Aber sowas verursacht Ohrenkrebs! Nichts desto trotz. Klasse Leistung des SWR Orchesters von dem ich großer Fan bin. Aber man braucht nicht jeden Egoschrott eines Möchtegern-Intelektuellen gut finden.

[@dvorakslavenskiples]

ich lebe seit 20 und liebe Nono ungeheuer. Wie auch Penderecki, Gubaidulina, Kelemen, Ustvolskaya , Rihm und viele andere Komponisten. Musik muss nicht schön sein, sie muss auch hässlich sein. Denn wenn mann nur die Schönheit der Welt zeigt hat die Musik ihre Aufgabe verfehlt. Stravinsky sagte: "Die Musik muss wie ein Spiegelbild der ganzen Welt sein. Denn die Musik ist die nackte Wahrheit."

[@alexisporfiriadis]

Well nobody went out because they heard a masterpiece of the 50's. And it is a masterpiece for so many reasons that I will not explain here. If you are not VERY lazy you can find enough information online so you could TRY to understand what is going on here. Things you write like "banause", "ohrenkrebs" etc just makes it obvious that you are an ignorant and you do not have a clue about 20th century music. So go on and hear some 19th century music and do not leave your sh^%& here man.

[@thee_rita5156]

ich verstehe immer leute die dinge ohrenkrebs nennen nicht. Es bringt das gespräch einfach nicht vorraus und kling als was ein 15 jähriger sagen würde.
