Editorial Reviews

Scelsi was a most unlikely 20th century musician. A count, a mystic, and a neurotic who underwent years of hospitalization, Scelsi seems a throwback to shadowy Italian figures of the Renaissance such as Gesualdo. His music bears resemblance to various strains of 20th-century composition--a preoccupation with gradual shifts of timbre and color, a fascination with the East, motionless studies of a single pitch, shimmering major triads--but it remains essentially incommensurable. --Joshua Cody
