Nothing like Stockhausen, but, still a nice historical look at the electronic pieces
that were his Fonologica Musicale studio works. The studio was founded by Maderna
(or "Brutal Madonna" as a friend and I used to say) and Berio. He did three electronic
works that were pre-Studio FM in Köln and Milan, but these are really the height of his
work (especially with the help of the great composer and engineer Zuccheri). You might
notice that he was taken by the flute - especially the playing of Severino Gazzelloni -
because he used its sound in his various manipulations on each piece on that disc
(except for Dimensioni II - but he does use some of Gazzelloni's voice). You get to hear
the diva Cathy Berberian emoting text prepared by the great Hans G. Helms as well.
Very nice collection.
