programme notes

Volkov and Ambarchi explore, like partners in crime, the boundaries of the symphonic orchestra. During Scelsi Sound Magic, they are creating the improvisational work Sous Vide, a composition that comes into existence on the spot. They supplement the programme with works by Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988) and Tristan Murail (°1947), composers who, like Ambarchi, are known for their experimental and innovative approach to music. Ready for an entirely new listening experience?
