"Luigi Dallapiccola and Goffredo Petrassi are often considered the 'Heavenly Twins' of 20th century music in Italy. While it is true that they were born in the same year (1904), and together provided the driving force for new Italian music, each composer has his own unmistakable musical and poetic identity. This CD, performed by Ensemble Dissonanzen, Naples' premier new music ensemble, alternates compositions by Petrassi and Dallapiccola, making for a study of contrasts and comparisons. Petrassi's 'Dialogo Angelico,' is an ethereal watercolor heralding the sound of his future music. It is imbued with a free flowing Stravinsky-like neomodality, serenely rhythmical and diatonic. 'Quaderno Musicale di Annalibera' features eleven perfectly-crafted miniatures, representing a minuscule amalgam of the Art of Fugue and the Musical Offering, with canons in the style of Bach and the Flemish school."
