Sub Rosa in Brussels has a long history with marginal figures of twentieth-century music, and this 1992 disc is its homage to Giacinto Scelsi. It mixes the vocal pieces (the Tre canti popolari for four natural voices, the songs for bass voice Wo-Ma, the liturgy Sauh for two female voices) with the Duo for violin and cello and the piano piece Aitsi.
The voices are where Scelsi sounds most archaic and most radical, between invented ritual and pure timbre. Recorded in the chapel of Notre-Dame in Boom, Belgium, in 1991 and 1992, with a cover by Rosemarie Trockel and notes by Jean-Luc Fafchamps.
