| Re: May in Italia
Justin,
Scelsi considered himself a "Mediterranean" composer, more than an "Italian" composer. Quattro Pezzi certainly has a distinctive Islamic sound, which you picked up on.
Matt played them very well as an undergrad at McGill, and his interpretation has undoubtably grown with repeated performances, his work at the Lurcerne Festival with Boulez, etc.
Best,
