Salvatore Sciarrino: Pagine & Canzoniere da Scarlatti
The artistry of the renowned Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino and the “gentle, reedy beauty” (New York Times) of the PRISM Quartet meet in this exploration of elaborazioni of classical and jazz icons. Sciarrino, following in the tradition of contemporary Italian composers who were also scholarly devotees of western composition, stunningly adapts music by Gesualdo, Bach, Scarlatti, Mozart, Gershwin, and Cole Porter.
