Luigi Nono: Composizione per Orchestra N.1 / Der Rote Mantel

Immerse yourself in the avant-garde world of contemporary classical music with Luigi Nono's "Composizione per Orchestra N.1 / Der Rote Mantel." Released in 2004 under the Wergo label, this album is a testament to Nono's innovative approach to composition. The album features two significant works: "Composizione per Orchestra N.1," a piece that daringly restricts itself to a mere nine notes, and "Der Rote Mantel," a dramatic, serial opera that unfolds over 37 minutes. The latter is a complex, multi-act work that explores themes of love, pursuit, and tragedy through its intricate musical narrative. Nono's use of dodecaphonic techniques and his unique serial dramaturgy make this album a fascinating exploration of sound and structure. With a total runtime of 51 minutes, this album is a compelling journey through the mind of one of the most influential composers of the 20th century.
