Cellist Frances-Marie Uitti celebrates the music of Giacinto Scelsi, the Italian composer from an aristocratic background whose work looks to the East for inspiration. Ygghur is Sanskrit for catharsis and is the final part of Scelsi's autobiographical La Trilogia. With commentary from Paul Griffiths.
