Italian experimentalist Giacinto Scelsi wrote some of the 20th century's most unusual and fascinating violin music. These four Divertimenti and accompanying pieces push the instrument to its limits, exploring microtones, unusual techniques, and a harmonic language existing entirely outside traditional classical vocabulary. Weiping Lin is the ideal interpreter—her technical command and artistic commitment bring clarity to these demanding, often bewildering scores. This 2013 Mode Records release gives essential access to a crucial avant-garde voice too few listeners have encountered.
