Sonia Wieder-Atherton talks about "VITA Monteverdi-Scelsi', the second concert that she will give at King's Place (London) on 18 March 2011.

"Four centuries ago Claudio Monteverdi was writing madrigals. Fifteen years ago Giacinto Scelsi composed a trilogy for solo cello The Three Ages of Man. Wieder-Atherton has transcribed some Monteverdi madrigals - recounting human drama, love, sus¬pense, and dreams -for cellos and bass, and she juxtaposes them with the Scelsi trilogy. Two life lines are sketched out; two musical compositions cross paths, each an echo of the other - sometimes in opposition, sometimes surprisingly close, especially when old age draws near."
