condition (record/cover): NM/EX (minimal cover wear). Includes 8-page silk-screened insert. Luciano Berio's Laborintus 2 (1965) is an epic sonic labyrinth created for the 700th anniversary of Dante's birth. This extraordinary composition weaves together Dante's texts, fragments from T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, and contemporary poetry by Edoardo Sanguineti into a stunning tapestry for voices, instruments, and tape. Featuring speaker, three female voices, eight actors, and ensemble, Laborintus 2 is one of Berio's most ambitious and powerful works – a political, poetic, and musical journey through language and history.
