Simone Movio: Libro di terra e d'incanti

In A Book of Earth and Enchantment, “the voice is treated as a special com­ponent of the instrumental parts: the word being regarded as the highest possibility of existence for a sound, one which directly contemplates an in­ner reality, a human effort to become its vehicle. The essential lies not in the meaning of the words, but in the mys­terious, arcane and poetic power of their resonance.” (Simone Movio) Livia Rado and the mdi ensemble with conductor Beat Furrer deliver a captivating performance of this fascinating song cycle.
