condition (record/cover): NM/EX- (very small white tag on front) Distinguished violist Aldo Bennici presents works by five towering figures of the Italian avant-garde: Salvatore Sciarrino, Sylvano Bussotti, Luciano Berio, Bruno Maderna, and Franco Donatoni. This collection represents the finest contemporary viola writing from Italy's post-war generation of composers, each exploring the instrument's expressive possibilities through distinctive compositional languages. From Sciarrino's delicate sonic whispers to Bussotti's theatrical gestures, from Berio's lyrical modernism to Maderna's serialist rigor and Donatoni's textural complexities, Bennici navigates these diverse aesthetic worlds with exceptional technical command and interpretive insight.
