"The three works by Salvatore Sciarrino on this CD are from live performances in Rome (2007) and Tokyo (2012). By chance, their date of composition creates a kind of numerical rhyme (1969, 1999, 2009). The invention of spectres within provocative formal concretions, of declaredly ancient form, is certainly a peculiarity of Sciarrino’s early production; in any case, he has always indentified and his sounds and produced them from the beginning, imagining instrumental solutions which allowed him to take music beyond its zero level and overcoming the historic ˆbut now well wornˆ frontiers of contemporary music with innate mimetic ability, that ability which urges his works to open to the surrounding world, to the reality or unreality of our perceptions.” Marco Angius
