Il canto sospeso

Keerthi Raj

Approved

Entstanden in den 1940er-Jahren, ist Dallapiccolas Kurzoper Il prigioniero in politischer wie ästhetischer Hinsicht ein bewegendes Schlüsselwerk des Widerstands gegen den Faschismus, in der zerstörte Hoffnung zur schlimmsten Folter wird. – Ebenso eindrücklich und plastisch vertonte Luigi Nono die Stimmen Ermordeter in Il canto sospeso, das auf Passagen aus letzten Briefen von zum Tode verurteil­ten europäischen Widerstandskämpfern basiert. Zwei der bedeutendsten Werke des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Deutsch

Created in the 1940s, Dallapiccola’s short opera Il prigioniero is a poignant statement of resistance against fascism, politically as well as aesthetically, where shattered hope becomes the cruellest torture. – Luigi Nono wrote music of equally gripping power for the voices of murdered victims in Il canto sospeso, which is based on passages from farewell letters written by captured European resistance fighters sen­tenced to death. Two of the most important works of the 20th century.
