Sentieri Selvaggi

In an effort to bring greater attention to composers and ensembles Cantaloupe Music—the contemporary classical imprint that features projects by new music ensemble Bang on a Can and its members, alongside other modernist ensembles including string quartet Ethel and all-percussion So Percussion—launches its series of EPs with Italian chamber ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi’s sublime performance of Gavin Bryars’ “Sub Rosa” and Philip Glass’ “Façades.” For those who believe contemporary classical music to be unapproachable, Plays Gavin Bryars and Philip Glass quickly dispels such misconceptions. Spare, elegant, and painfully beautiful, the performances will also be of interest to fans of Bryars and Glass, as Sentieri Selvaggi’s instrumentation reveals new facets to these two subtle and attractive compositions.
