Composer Luigi Dallapiccola Discography (20)
Luigi Dallapiccola BiographyThe Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola was born and spent his childhood in Istria, now part of Croatia, and a meeting-point of cultures. He had his first experience of Wagner during his familys internment in Graz in 1917, later studying music in Trieste and then in Florence, where a performance of Schoenbergs Pierrot Lunaire persuaded him to work as a composer, rather than as a pianist, his earlier choice of career. Concert tours had taken him to Vienna and to London, leading to a connection with the circle of Schoenberg. In Germany and later in Italy he met politically inspired opposition, although his opera Volo di notte (Night Flight), based on Saint-Exuprys Vol de nuit, had performances in both countries.
After the war his Canti di prigionia (Songs of Imprisonment), with texts based on Mary Queen of Scots, Boethius and Savonarola, was heard at an ISCM festival in London, marking the post-war re-admission of Italy, and in 1950 his opera Il prigionero (The Prisoner) was staged in Florence, to be heard also in Germany, as Italy regained something of her earlier position in contemporary music. In the 1950s Dallapiccola established closer ties with the United States, where he undertook teaching assignments, with performances of his works throughout the Americas. He was among the first Italian composers to absorb the principles of Schoenberg and to make continuing use of the latters serial techniques. Dallapiccola died in Florence in 1975.
Orchestral Music
Dallapiccolas Variazioni for orchestra of 1954 is an orchestral version of the Quaderno musicale di Annalibera for piano of 1952, a work reflecting a refinement of the composers applications of serialism.

7 and the codicil of variations found in its original manuscript are heard at several junctures in the program. This intriguing violin recital hangs together by a slender but persistent thread. The overarching theme is Italy and the Italian style in instrumental music, symbolized by Giuseppe Tartini, whose Sonata No. All of the modern works make referential gestures, to the music of the past or to the other composers, so that a sense of community reaching out across time and place is ever present, a sense beautifully communicated in violinist Michelle Makarski's exquisitely refined yet intense playing The theme and variations by Tartini are extracts from his Tema con variazione in A minor for solo violin, which may or may not have been meant as an additional movement for the Sonate piccole no 7. Then we are transported to the 20th century and Luigi *, who helped reestablish a new music tradition in Italy, was a friend and contemporary of Goffredo Petrassi, teacher to Luciano Berio and mentor to the Americans Elliot Carter and George Rochberg.
