Product Description
From Amazon.com
For the first time, we can hear Giacinto Scelsi playing piano! It's short (3:51) and the recording quality substandard, but Scelsi's improvisation with Carin Levine, Krishna e Radha, gives a window into the mind of one of the greats--that until now we could only hear through the veils of transcription and composition. The other premiere is Quays, for alto flute (1954). Levine has made her mark in the avant of avant-garde flute. The remaining pieces here have all been recorded at least twice already. Kristi Becker gives welcomed new perspectives on the piano works Five Incantations and Four Illustrations. --Robert Regile

4.0 out of 5 stars
nice sample of Scelsi's mid period., 25 Jan 2003
By J. Shapiro "kodok_gembira" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scelsi: Chamber Works for Flute and Piano (Audio CD)
This cd plays well, and is a welcome addition to any collection. The compositions are all from the '50s when Scelsi was searching and begining to arrive at his greatness. His interest in oriental, Egyptian, and even Gaelic(!) mythology is noted on this disc. Some gems here. Rucke di guck is a tour de force of intense, highly interactive dialog for flute,pic.and oboe. This fantastic piece has also been arranged for sax, and can be great that way also. The piano pieces here display a surpisingly tough,rugged approach at times.
As a bonus, a recorded improvisation of Scelsi, aged 81 at the piano joined by Levine on flute. Abstract, enigmatic, beautiful.
My only reservation with this disc is a sense of a little too much warmth and human feeling at times. I would have preferred a more austere and detached approach. Basically, it highlights the link with earlier exoticism a la Debussy, Scriabin, et al., as opposed to a more contempory one, say John Cage for example. It is a minor defect, that doesn't distract too much. The disc is a keeper, and I am tempted to give 5 stars, but I am really excited about the Arditti double disc on Montaigne that just came out!

something there, 24 April 2002
By Timothy Walden - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scelsi: Chamber Works for Flute and Piano (Audio CD)
It's like trance music trying to be something more, or variations without a theme. It has something to say in its own right, but you have to listen for a while. The works for different flutes with or without gongs or oboe, or for solo piano, each constantly returning to a single note, all hold and fit together somehow. Some of it sounds like japanese bamboo flute. The last poorly recorded piece, with flute and the composer at the piano, forms a kind of sad coda, like an unfinished Bach fugue. I was reminded of another album where, at the end, someone walks out of the studio and closes the door.

In doubt, 2 Jun 2009
By György Marosi "Kein kenner, nur geniesser" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scelsi: Chamber Works for Flute and Piano (Audio CD)
"...piano works Five Incantations and Four Illustrations" and three for Frustrations.
Sorry...Except in live jazz I don't really trust composers not writing scores (like Gurdjieff, Scelsi at al.)
