Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Scelsi--a hermetic Italian count, emotionally disturbed, obsessed with beauty and mysticism--might have turned up in a 1970s James Bond film had it not been for his profound musical gifts. Many of these large works, conducted by Jürg Wyttenbach, are recorded here for the first time; and even after repeated listenings one is never quite prepared for the revelations of this meditative, intimate exploration of sound on a massive instrumental scale. --Joshua Cody
