Sylvano Bussotti, "La Passion Selon Sade" (excerpt)

From Dischi Ricordi CRM 1002:

LA PASSION SELON SADE

Extraits de concert

"... Bussotti utilizes - at times to happily ironic effect - the expedients of contemporary musical language, lends them coherence and binds them into a lucid mosaic, but it is obvious that he is definitively concluding a period..."
S. Manzoni, "L'Unlfa", 1966

"... Time has left untouched La Passion: a score as wrinkle-free as the face of its composer..."
M. Tannenbaum, "L'Espresso", 1973

"... A masterpiece; we would like to invite everyone, whether lovers of contemporary music or not, not to miss this rare, precious, jewel of a piece..."
C. Tempo, "II Lavoro", 1973

"...A work that presents remarkable qualities of dramatic integration of the musical values: a musical colour of dark passion, a tormented sense of " envoutement", highly original yet clearly descending from Alban Berg's " Lulu "..."
M. Mils, "L'Espresso", 1965

"... Sylvano's music in this gentle Passion is composed with great transparency in the single parts, with superb "chamber" qualities. The most notable musical passages are a few brief intermezzos for chamber ensemble in which the horn often emerges melodically from oneiric harmonies..."
G, Lanza Tomasi, "L'Ora", 1965
