Artist:	NONO, LUIGI
Title:	20 Jahre Inventionen V
Label:	EDITION RZ (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	RZ 4006CD

"The live electronics that Nono worked with for the first time in the early 1980s at the Freiburg Experimental Studio also serves the musical displacement: the music moves away from clear spatial and timbral assignations. Due to electronic processing, the sonic characteristics of both instruments, bass flute and cello, can hardly be recognized. Tones and gestures are lengthened into seeming infinity and move in space." Features the 1960 piece for electronics and tape, "Omaggio A Emiolio Vedova", plus "Canciones a Guimar" (1962-63, for soprano, choir, ensemble; performed by Nova Ensemble) & Quando Stanno Morendo (1982, for Frauenstimmen, flute, cello and live electronics).

Title:	Vox Nova
Label:	MODE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MODE 087CD

"Mode's new edition focusing on the work of Luigi Nono will include not only the notated works, but also recreations of his later pieces. These works, mainly from the mid-sixties and on, and including 'A Floresta E Jovem E Cheja De Vida', were orally transmitted 'interactive' compositions -- in many cases without a completed score. Created with Nono's preference to experiment with certain musicians and sound engineers, they often made use of live electronics to achieve a unified, constantly mobile sound world. the vocal works on this disc come from both stages of Nono's oeuvre, and are of a decidedly political bent. All feature extended vocal techniques, using different mouth positions to produce a wide range of vocal colors which often transcend the meaning of the words."

Title:	Guai Ai Gelidi Mostri
Label:	NEOS (GERMANY)
Format:	2CD/SACD
Price:	$42.00
Catalog #:	NEOS 10801/2CD

Stereo/5.1 multichannel hybrid CD/SACD release that can be played on any CD player. Features "Guai ai Gelidi Mostri (1983, for 2 altos, flute, clarinet, tuba, viola, violoncello, contrabass and live electronics) and "Quando Stanno Moredno. Diario Polacco n. 2" (for four female voices, bass flute, violoncello and live electronics). "In March 1983, Nono wrote to a close friend, the painter Emilio Vedova, while staying in the Black Forest: 'I felt at the time, and still feel that I have to compose unforeseen and unforeseeable music for the Carnevali. What interests me personally is [...] not only the grey, not only the prefabricated ruptures, but also the beautiful newness that explodes -- tragically -- also violently -- but which aspires towards the most gentle newness.' At that time, Nono was in a preparatory phase at the Freiburg Experimentalstudio of the Heinrich Strobel Foundation where, together with director Hans-Peter Haller, he was able to explore new possibilities of structuring time and space and to study live electronics."
