Salvatore Sciarrino: Infinito Nero
Red Note continues on its bold path presenting rarely-heard classics of international new music alongside new work by UK composers on its regular Scottish tours. Here, Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino’s extraordinary and disturbing Infinito Nero, an “ecstasy in one act” based on the evocative visions of the early seventeenth-century mystic St Maria Maddalena de’ Pazzi, rides alongside a new Red Note commission by Scottish composer and viola player Carolyn Sparey, in concert with other classic works by Sciarrino and fellow Italian Luciano Berio.
The players of the Red Note Ensemble will be directed by international Scottish conducting star Garry Walker, and joined by mezzo-soprano Angela Tunstall, world-class contemporary performer and long-time artistic collaborator of Karlheinz Stockhausen.
