Product Notes

Nono: Intolleranza 1960 / Kontarsky, Sco, Rampy, Probst, Staatsorchester Stuttgart. Composer: Luigi Nono. Performer: Wolfgang Probst, Jerrold Van der Schaaf, Kathryn Harries, David Rampy, Conductor: Bernhard Kontarsky, Orchestra/Ensemble: Stuttgart State Opera Chorus, Stuttgart State Orchestra. This is a militant political work, in uncompromising serialist language. Said Nono: "Intolleranza 1960 is the awakening of human awareness in a man who has rebelled against the demands of necessity - he is an emigrant miner - and is searching for a reason and a 'human' basis for life." The libretto uses texts from Brecht, Sartre, Paul Eluard, Mayaskovsky, Algerian nationalist Henri Alleg, and others. The Emigrant, a Woman, and an Algerian are the principal characters. They protest their conditions in the mine, leave, are interrogated and tortured, confined in a concentration camp, and are finally drowned in a flood. The final chorus quotes Brecht's "To Those Born Later". Warner has reissued Luigi Nono's INTOLLERANZA (Intolerance) 1960 as part of it's Teldec Opera Collection. Recorded in Stuttgart in March 1993, the original 1999 disc has long been unavailable.
