Composer reference: 

The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge and Culture Awards for Contemporary Music was won this year by Salvatore Sciarrino. This Spanish award was given to him because he has renewed the possibilities of vocal and instrumental music and for the singularity of his sound materials.

According to the FBBVA: "The Italian composer is a pioneer in the realm of musical timbre and the opera, with writing that is innovative and technically perfect; its lightness, refinement and sound poetry marking him out as one of the major artists of our times."
