Luciano Chailly
Italian composer (1920–2002 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luciano Chailly (Ferrara, 19 January 1920 – Milan, 24 December 2002) was an Italian composer and arts administrator of French descent.[1] He was an eclectic and prolific composer in the post-war Italy, combining tonal, polytonal, and twelve-tone techniques.[2] Grew up under fascism, Chailly remained apolitical and was a humanist. As he witnessed the brutality of war by serving in second World War, several compositions reflect his repudiation of war.[2] Chailly was best known for his operas, many of which were composed to libretti by Dino Buzzati.
