For Salvatore Sciarrino (b. 1947) at his most extreme you could try
thisintriguing new CD with Ensemble Recherche, which has his rather
conventional adaptations of Gesualdo and includes a long, very esoteric work
Infinito Nero with wispy sounds and a text spoken very fast, the speaker
entering only after some eleven minutes of near silence. All fully explained
- 'silence is not empty. It gives birth to sound' - and beautifully packaged.
Very bizarre, so no star rating attempted!
