Icarus vs Muzak, directed by Marco Angius, bring to light the many facets of Sciarrino’s music, realising the quotations with lucidity and the frequent contrasts with energy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Guarnieri has personally prepared the young performers of Icarus vs Muzak along a path of study and training, which has unfortunately become a rare thing, but an indispensable prerequisite and trademark of these initiatives; a dutiful modus operandi, however, for an ensemble that has made its primary objective knowledge and study aimed at young people \u2013 with particular attention to contemporary music.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The interpretation of Icarus vs. Muzak was very satisfying, demonstrating a mastery of Sciarrino’s language that Marco Angius, one of the greatest specialists of the Palermo composer’s music, must have passed on to his young musicians.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00abCan the present abjure the past?\u00bb asks Marco Pedrazzini in the introduction to the Contemporary Music Book, published by Da Vinci Classics and produced by Icarus vs Muzak. The ensemble descends from the historic Icarus Ensemble<\/em> of which Pedrazzini was one of the enterprising founders. He was repaid by the successes that the group has been collecting in various parts of the world as an active and innovative witness to the labour that stimulates contemporary production.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
