The madrigal, which flourished in the Renaissance, is once again the supreme discipline of the art of composition with voices. And Salvatore Sciarrino is its master.
‘When, if not now?
Where, if not here?
Who, if not you?
This is what my music says to those who listen to it. It seeks encounters and extends an invitation: Open your mind, sharpen your awareness. Or simply: follow me.
I guide the listener into the music and stimulate them with tiny events…’

(Salvatore Sciarrino)
