Sciarrino’s reduced orchestral landscapes need the large ensemble to achieve a result that still lies at the lower end of acoustical perception. The frequently occurring standstills in the production process and the incessant silence gain new meaning when it is not a chamber ensemble but rather close to a hundred musicians who become motionless during the work.
