Leone Sinigaglia

[semloh]

I don't think we've had a separate topic devoted to Leone Sinigaglia. His name has popped up many times, and snippets of information have appeared, but in view of Alan's recent re-posting of the Violin Concerto, I thought one was timely.

Biographical information is available at Wikipedia, and there is a note regarding the Nazi view of Sinigaglia's work as "degenerate" at: http://umaine.edu/thearts/home/degenerate-musik/
He isn't mentioned in any of the Oxford or Cambridge histories of music.

Commercial Recordings are mostly compilations in which short pieces feature but include:
Lied for soprano & piano, Stradivarius CD (inc. an alternative Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen - Mahler appreciated Sinigaglia's music it seems)
Chamber Music (Toccata Classics)
Chamber Music inc. the Serenade for String Trio, Op.33 (Silvertrust - http://www.editionsilvertrust.com/sinigaglia-string-trio.htm )
Folksongs arr. for guitar ensemble & SQt. – http://www.vivaldiguitartrio.it/discografia_eng.html#sinigaglia )

I think Hora Mystica is also at IMSLP in parts and recording - here.
