Telling the world in its sound aspects from the listening point of the human being, and strengthened by a new auditory awareness, collectively improve the acoustic future of the environment in which we live. This is the meaning of a work out of every genre, unprecedented and without followers, in which an eclectic author, composer and cultured humanist, has merged science and poetry, artand research, leaving an indelible mark on all areas of culture and the creativity in which sound and listening have been thematized. The introduction and commentary by Giovanni Cestino, together with an afterword by Nicola Scaldaferri with interventions by Barry Truax, Steven Feld, Tess Knighton and Sabine Breitsameter, frame this new Italian edition providing a glimpse of the work and its cultural impact both in breadth and depth, suggesting new perspectives on what it means to read The Soundscape today. Italian Edition.

Composed for Steven Isserlis in 2004, Carl Vine's Concerto for Cello is an exhilarating 20-minute work that traverses a vast emotional palette. The concerto begins arrestingly, with soloist pitted against orchestra, though as it develops the two factions move towards union. A slow chorale led by the cellist frames the central section, whilst relentless motor rhythms drive the work to its close.
