Riccardo Zandonai(1883-1944): a Catalogue of the Orchestral Music

[Dundonnell]

It is a great pity that Zandonai's orchestral music seems to have been almost completely ignored by the record companies.  (I suspect that there is also more music for chorus and orchestra.)

Unfortunately since it seems most of the works that Centro Studi Zandonai lists in that very category are in MS according to some of their PDFs, and they don't specify much about instrumentation that I can see, this seems fit to remain a mystery for those without access to the relevant libraries unless scans have been posted to Internet Digitale... (which given his death date post-1942 I think would not be the case just presently).
