Sciarrino, Salvatore (1947-) - Solo: Klangforum Wien - Import CD

Igor Levit

Description:

Solo" series by Klangforum Wien! The soundscapes of his music are both raw and vivid. The soundscapes of his music continually explore the thin line between life and death, memory and oblivion, light and darkness, growth and decay. The Agitato Cantabile (2020), commissioned by Klangforum Wien, includes a capriccio much like J.S. Bach's famous Capriccio sopra la lontananza del fratello dilettissimo (On the departure of my beloved brother). Capriccio sulla lontananza"), the horns create a striking echo effect as they shift from higher to lower registers, expressing the musical distance between agitato and cantabile, two opposing sides of the same coin. The gods have fallen, and we no longer believe in magic. What remains is an awareness of the solitude within its mystical aspect. We must surrender to the wind to experience the invisible connection between all things.Salvatore Sciarrino, Tokyo M-Plus
