And in the latest instalment of the Hear and Now Fifty, cellist Frances-Marie Uitti champions the music of Giacinto Scelsi, the Italian composer from an aristocratic background whose music looks to the east for inspiration. Uitti plays the 1960s 'Ygghur', Sanskrit for 'catharsis', the final part of Scelsi's autobiographical 'La Trilogia'. With commentary from Paul Griffiths.
