Various - Biennale Musica Torino 1997

Review by Michael Dawson

The album Biennale Musica Torino 1997 by Various is a must-have for any classical music lover. The collection features performances by some of the most talented musicians of the time, including the likes of Maurizio Pollini, Pierre Boulez, and the Ensemble Intercontemporain.

The album captures the essence of the Biennale Musica Torino festival, which was held in Turin, Italy, in 1997. The festival was dedicated to contemporary classical music and featured works by composers such as Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

The performances on the album are breathtaking, with each musician bringing their unique style and interpretation to the pieces they play. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the nuances and subtleties of each performance.

One standout performance on the album is Maurizio Pollini's rendition of Berio's "Sequenza IV." Pollini's virtuosic piano playing is on full display, as he navigates the complex and challenging piece with ease.
