Salvatore Sciarrino is one of the greatest figures in contemporary European music.
Most of his music, which develops within a personal and very refined sound space that is immediately recognisable, is based on the relationship between sound and silence, which, though apparently contradictory, are indissociable. In each of his works both silence and sound play an essential part. This puts his music at the limits of the imperceptible and sometimes creates great dramatic tension; the listener is called upon to lend a very attentive ear to a multitude of 'muted breathings'. Sciarrino says: 'There is a sort of inversion in that sound in my works retains a trace of the silence from which it came and to which it will return - silence that is itself only a twittering of microscopic sounds.'from the CD booklet
