Classy Italian radio plays that were entered in a long standing competition (still running today) held by the state broadcasting system RAI. Some of the avant garde's greatest masters participated, and you get to hear Nino Rota's rolypoly comic bass burbles right alongside little kids making funny squeals for Bruno Maderna. There are a few narrators, but many of the discs function like little operas, with classically trained singers stretching to meet the influence of 12-tone or Bartok. Comes with a giant book in both English & Italian, which translates the plots, shows off newspapers pix of Luciano Berio with a scruffy beard, & even discusses how folks used their mixing decks. Tracklisting: Nino Rota-La Notte di Un Nevrastenico, Niccolo Castiglioni-Attraverso Lo Specchio, Bruno Maderna-Don Perlimplin, Bruno Maderna-Ritratto di Erasmo, Bruno Maderna-Ages, Luciano Berio-Diario Immaginario, Salvatore Sciarrino-La Voce Dell'Inferno.
