Description:
Program note (English): The poem of Cesare Pavese about a voice 'in the immobile air', that does not break the silence, is entirely recited; in the beginning hardly audible just as the violoncello. At the end "La Voce" is executed 'silence keep still for ever, hoarse and shy, in the memory of olden times'. - LOUIS ANDRIESSEN
