condition (record/cover): NM/EX Gatefold sleeve with 12-page LP-size booklet stapled in. No libretto. A masterpiece of 20th-century opera! Luigi Dallapiccola's Il Prigioniero (The Prisoner, 1944-48) stands as one of the most powerful and harrowing operatic works of the post-war era. Set during the Spanish Inquisition, this one-act drama explores themes of hope, torture, freedom, and ultimate despair with devastating psychological intensity. Dallapiccola employs twelve-tone technique with extraordinary expressive power, creating a score of searing beauty and dramatic force. A defining work of political and moral conscience, born from the composer's experience of fascism and war.
