Luciano Berio/Leonard Bernstein/Pierre Boulez —
Female Prisoner ... LP Columbia, 1969. Sealed ...
Out Of Stock
Wild stuff – a soundtrack made up of a number of different avant classical pieces, designed to accompany the film The Female Prisoner. Boulez directs Webern's "Five Pieces For Orchestra OP 10", and Leonard Bernstein directs Mahler's "Third Movement from Symphony No 4". The best part, though, is side two – which features Berio's striking "Visage" – a classic magnetic tape work based on the vocals of Cathy Berberian and filled with nice electronics! LP, Vinyl record album
A haunting score for Luchino Visconti's film adaptation of the short story by Thomas Mann – set to a range of classical themes from Mahler, Beethoven, and Mussorgsky – which made the soundtrack quite a hit on the classical crossover world too! The music is conducted by Franco Mannino, who also extrapolates some of the themes in more contemporary arrangements with his orchestrations – and the work is performed by Accademia Di Santa Cecilia, with performances by soprano Mascia Predit, pianist Claudio Gizzi, and contralto Lucretia West.
