About this product
Gianandrea Noseda continues his series of recordings of the works of Luigi Dallapiccola, this time with his Danish forces. Seen by many as Dallapiccola's masterpiece, Il prigioniero (The Prisoner) is a one-act opera composed in the late 1940s, and premiered (in a radio broadcast) in 1949. The Italian composer had first encountered serialism as a student in Florence in the 1920s, when Schoenberg visited to conduct Pierrot lunaire. The influence was profound, although it would take two decades before it demonstrated itself fully in his composition. Based primarily on a short story, 'La Torture par l'espérance' (Torture by Hope), by the French writer Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, the opera concerns a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition who finds the door of his cell unlocked and creeps out under the cover of darkness to the garden beyond. Hope rises to the level of ecstasy, before he finds himself embraced in the Garden by the Inquisitor, who returns him to his cell. Dallapiccola employs three twelve-note tone rows in the work, which he named 'Prayer', 'Hope', and 'Freedom', from which all the vocal lines are created. The album is completed by three choral works Estate, written in 1932 for male chorus, and two settings from 1933 of poems by Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger for mixed voice chorus.

![Norwegian Soloists? Choir Norwegian Radio Orchestra Pedersen - Coro - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5735669d-7f0f-4c1e-af55-4d58945624de.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Luciano Berio's Coro has been described as the work that 'exemplifies all the qualities that made him one of the leading composers of our time'. The work's full title is 'Coro for voices and instruments', and the 40 voices and 44 instrumentalists do indeed make up a single choir - instrumentalists and singers sit together, with each singer paired with a particular player, and used both as soloists and combined in mass effects. Composed in 1976, Coro is also a strikingly 'global' work Berio's use of texts (mainly translations of folk poetry) attributed to peoples - 'Peruvian', 'Croatian', 'Sioux' - turns the work into a chorus of cultures. The texts are laid out in 31 separate sections of varying length, but the overall effect is cumulative, not episodic. The only named author is the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, who became a powerful posthumous voice following his death in 1973 in the wake of General Pinochet's military coup. Along with other text fragments, his words 'Come and see the blood in the streets' keep returning during the course of the work, and the sense emerges of human individuals needing to be alerted to social and political developments demanding a collective response. Under it's artistic director Grete Pedersen the Norwegian Soloists' Choir has made acclaimed recordings of music ranging from Norwegian folk songs and Hildegard of Bingen to Bach, Brahms and Xenakis. Joined by the Norwegian Radio Orchestra it now takes on one of the major choral works of the past 50 years. The album closes with Berio's smaller scale Cries of London, performed by members of the choir.
