Sciarrino Intégrale Des Œuvres Pour Violon Et Pour Alto Fusi - Str37057 - Contemporary

Salvatore Sciarrino’s sonic production is a magnificent and moving testimony to fertilisation of sound substituted by the progressively mature contemplation of sound. Years of incubation, reflection, gestation, and sedimentation, during which Sciarrino’s idea of sound assumes the shape of an immobile and irreplaceable entity, an internal frequency, gradually acquiring these characteristics and properties in order to be externalised. This is where the idea becomes, momentarily, a representation of its own genesis. And the music of Salvatore Sciarrino is, in fact, parent of this very genesis. The pieces on this CD, which presents Sciarrino’s complete works for solo violin and solo viola, fall into two specific creative periods: the first in the second half of the 1970s (starting from Tre notturni brillanti for viola in 1974-75, to Per Mattia for violin in 1975 and Sei Capricci for violin in the following year, and finishing with Ai limiti della notte for viola in 1979), and the second more recently, in 2009, with Fra sé and the Capriccio per una corda, both for violin.
