Wonderful new 3 CD release from Tactus featuring delightful works for chamber ensemble and small orchestra by Riccardo Zandonai.
Includes a concerto, sinfonietta, string quartet, trio , suites. songs et al..
The first sentence describing the cd on Tactus website is rather misleading, regarding the time period, since he was born in 1883... Bad translation I guess!
"Riccardo Zandonai was a well-known musical figure in Italy in the mid-eighteenth century, principally for his melodramatic operas."
Well, they must have had an interesting futures market...
