Sara Mohr-Pietsch explores the influence of the Italian madrigalists on contemporary composers from Sciarrino to Finnissy and Nono to her studio guest, the composer James Weeks. In addition to recordings of Finnissy's 'Gesualdo Libro Sesto' and Nono's 'Sar脿 dolce tacere' chosen by James Weeks, they present a special recording of the world premiere of James Weeks's own work 'Libro di fiammelle e ombre' with a selection from '12 Madrigali' by Sciarrino, which were performed last month at Wigmore Hall as part of the 15th-anniversary concert of the vocal ensemble EXAUDI.
