Silvia Colasanti (b. 1975) is one of the foremost female composers of today’s Italy. Born in Rome she studied at the Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia. Later on she advanced her art with Wolfgang Rihm and Pascal Dusapin. She obtained the prestigious Goffredo Petrassi Award by the president of the republic. She collaborated with famous artists such as Salvatore Accardo, David Geringas, Natalie Dessay and others. Her works have been performed in Konzerthaus Berlin, Théâtre des Champs Elysées and the Biennale Venice. • Her style is described as a “Theatre of sounds”. Without the help of words she tells the story of human life, speaking of its mysteries, joys and sorrows. • This new recording presents works for string quartet: “Due destini”, “Aria”, “Di tumulti e d’ombre” and “Tre notti”. The tonal possibilities of the 4 string instruments are extended to their maximum and even beyond, creating unheard-of sonorities and effects. • Played with great dedication and love by Quartetto Noûs, one of the most interesting and innovative quartets of today, specializing in contemporary repertoire.
