Giacinto Scelsi - Natura Renovatur


Scelsi was a twentieth-century Italian composer, who went mostly unnoticed until a year or so before his death, and now his works are being recorded and performed with great enthusiasm. It's a sad world we live in.

Simply put, this is incredible. The actual piece "Natura Renovatur" is hauntingly beautiful, and definitely a favourite of mine. Also this is the 2006 ECM release.

  1. wow-very sci fi-esque (?). although kind of cool because it's pretty different to probably anything i've listened to.

  3. this is true! and it is something that people listening to top 40 hits kinda radio don't ever get to do.
