The fourth of 11 programmes inviting musicians to introduce their favourite pieces. Andrew Sparling discusses the music of the reclusive Italian aristocrat Giaclnto Scelsi with cellist
Frances-Marie Uitti. Scelsi's music combines an intense concentration on single pitches with an un-European concern with subtle inflections of pitch. Largely ignored in Italy since his death in 1988, his music has become influential elsewhere.
