“The fifth volume, Sixteen Scenes Before a Crucifixion (2014), is less a collection than a linear meditation on the Passiontide canvases by Caravaggio, as translated into music Seabourne has described as ‘overwhelmingly pessimistic and bleak.’”
- Richard Whitehouse, Gramophone
This release sees Italian pianist Alessandro Viale tackle British composer Peter Seabourne's 16 Scenes Before a Crucifixion. A sombre collection of movements for solo piano, the cycle is the fifth piece in an ongoing series titled Steps and was inspired by universal themes of suffering through the Passion paintings of the Renaissance artist Caravaggio.
