Sgambati Sinfonia epitalamio & Symphony No.2

[Alan Howe]

Despite the advertised release date of 2nd December (both here in the UK and in Germany), my copy of the new Naxos CD arrived in the post from jpc today!

My first impression of the Sinfonia epitalamio is that it's more of a Suite than a symphony, but that it contains some absolutely stunning music. Later Italian orchestral music doesn't seem so far away...

I too have now got the Naxos Cd.
In the fine Epitalamio Sinfonico I have mostly, and very much, appreciated the lyrical sections.
If I read again ,TEN YEARS after, my post in the 2012 thread "if the record companies were watching" (about unrecorded works deemed worthy)
I have had
Sgambati Epitalamio Sinfonico
Malipiero Per una favola cavalleresca
Mancinelli Scene veneziane
Casella Pagine di guerra,
more than 50% of my 2012 list.
The world of neglected composers moves, is active ( however the four works indicated above have all been recorded by an orchestra sadly disbanded).
