About
Unspeakable evil in the nameless acts – col legno proudly presents Salvatore Sciarrino’s Macbeth, recorded at the 2011 Salzburg Festival, released for the first time on CD. The infiltration of microorganisms of sound, restless reticence, ephemeral slitherings, whisperings, whizzings…all of which develops into an intensity that only the great Italian master is capable of creating.
