About
Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) was one of the most fascinating composers of the Italian Avant Garde. He experimented with the essentials of sound, sometimes writing music based around only one pitch, subjecting it to micro-oscillations, extreme dynamics and changes of timbre.
This set contains the complete music in which the flute is featured: from flute solo, duos with different other instruments (clarinet, piano, oboe), and: in ensemble with two gongs and cow bell.
Claudia Giottoli is one of the foremost flautists of Italy. A winner of several international competitions she specialises in unusual and contemporary repertoire.

the 24-minute Tetratkys (1959), is an excellent example of Scelsi's ability to work more expansively and allusively than in the kind of constrained yet intensely dramatic rhetoric heard here in Ko-Lho (1976)…the virtuosity of flautist Claudia Giottoli is remarkable, and she provides useful annotations in the booklet…here this most enigmatic of composers speaks with an unaffectedly personal accent

dauntless performances from Claudia Giottoli, who makes a big, breathy, wholesome kind of sound on the flute – playing in which the percussive noise of finger hitting keypad is as audible as any note. I like the physicality and the voluptuousness of it: it feels real, not too manicured and exactly right for a composer who was obsessed by the holistic nature of tone.
