    Sciarrino Premiere; H&N; Sat 5/11/16; 10:30

    A very attractive programme of Music from Italy, this week - performed at a concert in St John's Smith Square last month by the London Sinfonietta, conducted by Marco Angius. They are joined by Mezzo Anna Radziejewska for the UK premiere of Immagina il deserto by Salvatore Sciarrino (70 next April) - first performed earlier this year at the Venice Biennale - and UK premieres of works by two of his former students; (Daniela Terranova (b1977) 's Notturno in forma di rosa (2009) and Francesco Filidei (b 1973)'s Ballata No.2 (2012). The programme ends with Sciarrino's ... da un Divertimento of 1970.

    The remainder of the programme covers an exploration of gender relations in contemporary Music from this year's Darmstadt Summer School - with an excerpt from The Lichtenburg Figures, a new work from Austrian composer Eva Reiter (b 1976) premiered at the Summer School, performed by the ensemble Ictus, conducted by Georges-Elie Octors, with the composer as vocalist.





    Looking forward to this one!

    Me too ferney! Of the avant-garde music scene of the 1940s - '70s for me the Italian is the most attractive, and I'm interested to find out something (at least) of what has happened in that world, post Nono, Berio, Maderna, Clementi, et al..

      Sciarrino is one of the great living composers I think. I'm not familiar with the work of the other composers mentioned, although I've found that very many younger Italian composers tend to follow very obviously in the footsteps of the generation you mention, especially Donatoni and Sciarrino. Exceptions whose work I'm keen on include Giorgio Netti and Pierluigi Billone.

          Sciarrino is certainly a first point of call, then, S_A: I agree with Richard's high opinion of his work - he's a composer whose Music I happily go out of my way to ensure I get to hear. (I also much admire Billone, too - the KAIROS CD of 1 + 1 = 1 was one I bought out of curiosity at a HCMF some years ago, and ended up playing over and over again: an astonishingly powerful piece.

          Don't know any Netti, yet ).

          There are (of course) examples of Terranova's work on Soundcloud:



          ... some attractive Music here, I thought.

          And (spoiler alert) Filidei's Ballata 2 (and other works of his) is on youTube:

          It all rather makes the British stuff from a couple of weeks ago seem quaintly ... provincial.

            Hmmm. I enjoyed listening to the Filidei on the youTube video, but kept getting the impression that I'd heard it before, somewhere ... ?!

              I particularly enjoyed the Filidei on the programme.
              Maybe a vague ( or imagined) recollection was part of the intention, with that mix of familiar and unfamiliar, and the changes between the two?



              I'm not suggesting that you are imagining things, obviously.......

              anyway, here's some more, ( of the same?)
