Product description

Immerse yourself in the rich, neoclassical compositions of Italian maestro Alfredo Casella with his captivating album, "Casella: Symphony No. 2 & La donna serpente Suite No. 1." Released on July 21, 2017, this album is a testament to Casella's profound influence and innovative spirit, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mahler and Strauss.

The album opens with Casella's monumental Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 12, a four-movement masterpiece that showcases the composer's intricate layering and dynamic range. The symphony, composed in Paris between 1908 and 1909, is a highlight of Casella's oeuvre, blending grandeur and intimacy in a way that is both powerful and deeply moving.

Following the symphony, the album presents the first suite from Casella's opera "La donna serpente" (The Snake Woman), Op. 50bis. This three-movement suite offers a glimpse into the dramatic and evocative world of Casella's operatic work, even if the opera itself did not receive universal acclaim. The suite's symphonic fragments have found greater success, demonstrating Casella's ability to craft compelling and memorable music.

Performed by the Sinfonieorchester Münster under the skilled direction of Fabrizio Ventura, this album is a stunning showcase of Casella's musical genius. With a total duration of 1 hour and 2 minutes, it offers a comprehensive exploration of Casella's neoclassical style, making it an essential addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
