I borrowed the idea of Anatomical Machines from the rooms of Raimondo di Sangro’s palace, two human skeletons wrapped in their articulated artery and vein system, reproduced in all its complexity and biological (im)perfection. I was fascinated by the idea of an artificial machine, and therefore perfect, united to that of a natural, imperfect one; the idea of something incorruptible and unalterable from one side and defective and perishable on the other; the alienating repetition of artificial mechanisms and the deformed regularity of human ones. When I tried to express this into sound and into the organization of it, a third anatomical machine was born, a sound machine that is hard to set in motion and intended to decompose itself due its own internal mechanisms.

Claudio Panariello - "Flebili Stelle Nere"

This work is a set of three orchestral transcriptions of the Ricercare IX (con quattro soggetti) from the second volume of keyboard works of Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643). What I found interesting in this specific Recordare was the intertwining of voices with four very small thematic subjects which are *the only material* actually constituting the work. Initially working on a single transcription, I soon realized that this material was actually much richer than a single transcription could express and so I stole the idea of the Rouen Cathedrale series by Monet writing three different transcriptions using three different orchestral writing techniques, ranging from farbenmelodien to spectral writing. This is the recording of the first performance of the piece during the 1991 Maggio Musicale Fiorentino at the Teatro Comunale of Florence, Italy. The orchestra is the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the conductor is Luciano Berio. The recording is a low-quality documentation recording and the performance is much less than optimal - but it is the only performance of this piece that was ever recorded.

P.S. The poster picture is from another performance in Wien later on in 1992. Unfortunately no recording was made that day.
