BONUS TRACK ONLY ON DVD: Aitsi for amplified piano (1974)
Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) wrote one of the largest sets of piano music in the 20th century. Scelsi was a virtuoso pianist, and even his most experimental compositions in this genre show a marked pianistic conception. Largely ignored during much of his life, Scelsi was basically only "discovered" in the 1980s.
Though a recluse in his later years, there were some artists who worked with Scelsi and gained special insight into the spirit of his compositions. Renowned contemporary music pianist Aki Takahashi was one of these musicians. The program Ms. Takahashi has selected for this recital is largely made up of works which she prepared with the composer.
It includes one of Scelsi's greatest piano pieces, the Quattro Illustrazioni - a tour-de-force of exotic, erotic illustrations depicting the different incarnations of Vishnu.
From the mid-1950s, Scelsi's interest in microtonality led him to abandon writing for the piano. The only exception is recorded here. Scelsi's last composition, Un Adieu, is an extraordinarily beautiful, melancholic piece that truly conveys the feeling of 'farewell' in its title.
High resolution 96khz/24-bit recording.
The eccentric and iconoclastic Twentieth-century Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi - notorious for authoring entire classical pieces built around one pitch (or note), and for his embracement of improv in lieu of more traditional melodic composition - receives a new interpretation in the concert film, Scelsi - The Piano Works 3: Aki Takahashi. In this home release, Japanese pianist Takahashi - one of only a scant few musicians who collaborated with Scelsi during the latter's brief window of fame from the mid-1980s until his death in 1988 - performs six of Scelsi's original pieces: Sonate No. 3, Quatro Illustrazione, Cinque Incantessimi, Suite No. 10 'Ka', Aitsi and Un Adieu. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide |
