L Altra Beltà - Chasing the Other Beauty
On this CD from LAWO Classics, pianist Annabel Guaita has
explored the performance tradition that emerged around the
composers Schönberg, Webern, and Berg. Underlying this
project has been a wish to discover whether something new
might be generated in the encounter of Fartein Valen's music
with another performance tradition. This is the first time that
his music has been directly associated with the three most
influential composers known collectively as the Second
Viennese School. Thus the CD L'Altra Beltà places Valen's
music in an international context and shows how it relates to
the music of these distinguished composers.
It is totally erroneous to presume that atonal music lacks
emotion. To be moved by atonal music is to experience what
Michelangelo called l'altra beltà, the other beauty. It's just that
we use technical means to call it forth. Atonal music is felt
the same as other music, perhaps even more, although in a
different way.

Radio/NRK, 1950)
