Bruno Maderna, one of the most influential composers in the 20th
century, was the oldest of the group of Italian composers born in
the 1920s (Berio, Nono, Donatoni...) who began their career shortly
before the Second World War and were able to exploit the
opportunities offered by the new world that emerged in the post-war
years. Maderna's story is quite unique. He rose to fame early in
life as a child prodigy and his exceptional talent was soon noticed
by Gian Francesco Malipiero, who stimulated his interest in ancient
music, a passion that remained constant even when the European
avant-garde insisted that new music should start from year zero.
After a first approach to the "classic" dodecaphony, his musical
style tended toward the integral seriality and the "opera aperta".
In the last years he developed a particular interest for the
theatre. Satyricon was born in Tanglewood in a short version, and
later became a big success all over the world, particular after his
death. His work as a conductor made him particularly sensitive to
the reaction of the public, leading him to carefully calibrate his
approach to composition, without being swayed by fashionable ideals
or philosophies. Despite his warm and outgoing nature, Maderna
rarely expressed his personal views in writing or in interviews.
Many of the biographical details given here are taken from his
correspondence and from reports of his travels and engagements
across the world, which took him as far as the United States, but
also to Persia, South America and Japan.
