condition (record/cover): NM/NM Gatefold sleeve. A remarkable tribute to one of Italy's most influential composers! This album honors Goffredo Petrassi (1904-2003) with his own Inno alongside six commissioned works by distinguished international composers: Elliott Carter's Riconoscenza per Goffredo Petrassi, Armando Gentilucci's Metafore del Tempo, Gérard Grisey's Anubis et Nout, Donald Martino's Canzone sul Nome Petrassi, Luis de Pablo's Dos Epigramas de Marcial, Cristóbal Halffter's Dialogo, and Aldo Clementi's 1904 (referencing Petrassi's birth year). Recorded at the 1984 Festival Pontino di Musica, this collection demonstrates Petrassi's immense influence across generations and national boundaries - from American modernism (Carter, Martino) to French spectralism (Grisey) and Spanish/Italian contemporaries. The stylistic diversity reflects the breadth of Petrassi's impact as composer, teacher, and cultural figure.
