AMG Review of Il Canto Sospeso (1956)
"Blue" Gene Tyranny
All Music GuideThis piece, based on letters of WWII resistance fighters, introduced new choral writing techniques of word fragmentation and suspension. Nono was one of the leading serialist composers who developed the twelve-tone techniques of pre-World War II composers, primarily those of Anton Webern. Excellent performance by the Rundfunkchor Berlin (Berlin Radio Choir) and The Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Claudio Abbado. Mahler's "Kindertotenieder" (Songs On The Deaths of Children) is also included.
