In between all the electronic music posts, I felt this morning to share with you some classical music. The selection: a great ensemble "Trio Siciliano" playing pieces from two great composers, the classical French composer "Claude Debussy" and the Japanese soundtrack composer "Ryuichi Sakamoto".

The ensemble is from the island of Sicily - as suggested by their name - from the city of Palermo to be exact. Trio Siciliano - formed in 1985 - brings some fine recordings to us and has been awarded prizes in various national competitions and have played for the bigger musical associations in Italy including the Friends of Music Palermo, Trapani, Messina, Siracusa, Ravenna, Dolo, Alessandria, Vicenza, Novara, Köln, Festival 900 Palermo and more.

I'm not a big fan of writing and re-writing biographies, therefore - for those who are interested - I included links to respective Wikipedia pages for both composers as well as the ensemble.
