Salvatore Sciarrino - Il Suono e Il Tacere (1/2)

Il suono e il tacere, for orchestra (2004) Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI Tito Ceccherini A sigh spreads across the orchestra. Or is it only a sequences of tones, ending in a descending glissando? Sciarrino's music is sound speech below the boundary of words: The groaning of the creator, an "Ah!", manifoldly reflected between strings and muted trumpets -- and underlying it all, the restless pulse of the heart.
