Album DescriptionListeners are in for a special treat as they hear symphonic works by Wolf-Ferrari that have never been previously recorded. One thing is for sure: Venice always embodied the essence of the oeuvre and artistic character of this 20th century composer. Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, one of the world's greatest melodists, sets Venice to music for us here, with music that goes straight to our hearts. The wonderful music of the German-Italian composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari presents itself with an idiosyncratic and unpredictable nonchalance. In putting together this world premiere with the Oviedo Filarmonia, Friedrich Haider (who himself has Italian roots) entices us to join him on a journey into this remarkably captivating and all-embracing musical realm.
