Contemporary classical/drone from Italy, extraordinarily beautiful and mysterious. This is one 46:09 track, conceived by a French composer and performed here by a Florentine septet. A rich combination of acoustic instruments—viola, trumpet, double bass, accordion, cello, bass clarinet, harmonium—overlap slowly to create something almost holy. The title is something of a play on words; a ricercar is a composition form, often similar to a fugue, but "Ricercar Nell'ombra" translates to something like "Searching in the Shadows." And the music does have a shadowy feel, on the knife's edge between harmony and dissonance. Like wondering at some slowly expanding force of nature.
