Following the liberation of Rome in 1945, Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) returned from an extensive sojourn in a Switzerland. Living now in a less anxious environment, one marked by hope and optimism, Scelsi was able to publish a number of chamber works, edited by Roman publisher Renato De Santis, with the composer Vieri Tosatti.The music recorded here, mostly for the first time, with the exception of Rotativa, is part of this body of works.

Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi (1905-88) is considered one of the most enigmatic musical figures in the history of 20th century music. He very famously, after suffering a breakdown in the late 1950’s, sat and played a single note on the piano for hour after hour, in an attempt, as he said, “to absorb the world and its overtones.” This is a fascinating sound world both simple and complex and at times hauntingly beautiful.

Arne Deforce (cello)

"Arne Deforce is one of the most exciting new cellists I have come across. Everything he plays is approached with a powerful intensity born from an engagement with the music on a deep spiritual and psychic level. He is highly imaginative and brings an originality and, above all, creativity to his interpretations which is both fiery and structured. He has taught me things about my own music, and it has been a pleasure to work with him. His recorded improvisations bear testimony to this spirit; they have influenced my writing for cello no little. He will almost certainly bring a profound level of experience to whatever audience hears him." Jonathan Harvey 2004
