Review by Susan Krieg

The album "The Orchestral Works 1 Hymnos Hurqualia Konx Om Pax Canti Del Capricorno" by Giacinto Scelsi, performed by the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic & Carnegie Mellon Choir, Juan Pablo Izquierdo, Pauline Vaillancourt, and Douglas Ahlstedt, is a remarkable achievement in contemporary classical music. The compositions are complex, layered, and deeply emotional, showcasing the immense talent of both the composer and the performers.

The album opens with "Hymnos," a stunningly beautiful piece that features haunting vocals and intricate orchestration. The choir's harmonies are otherworldly, and the strings create a lush backdrop that perfectly complements the vocals. "Hurqualia" is a more experimental piece that features dissonant chords and complex rhythms. The orchestra and choir work together seamlessly, creating a soundscape that is both challenging and rewarding to listen to.

"Konx Om Pax" is perhaps the most accessible piece on the album, with a more traditional orchestral sound and a catchy melody. The choir's vocals are once again a highlight, adding depth and emotion to the piece. Finally, "Canti Del Capricorno" is a hauntingly beautiful work that features a solo soprano and a sparse, ethereal orchestration. The soprano's voice is crystal clear and perfectly suited to the piece.

About Giacinto Scelsi Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic & Carnegie Mellon Choir, Juan Pablo Izquierdo, Pauline Vaillancourt, Douglas Ahlstedt

Born 8th January 1905 in La Spezia, died 9th August 1988 in Rome, Scelsi was an Italian composer who also wrote surrealist poetry in French. He is best known for writing music based around only one pitch, altered in all manners through microtonal oscillations, harmonic allusions, and changes in timbre and dynamics, but has gone through four different creative periods. His musical output remained largely undiscovered even within contemporary musical circles during most of his life, until a series of concerts in the mid to late 1980s finally premiered many of his pieces to great acclaim. He has then been noted as a visionary of many avantgarde ideas that only later became known through the works of other composers.
