Again a fantastic work.
I would add only:
1948 "Concerto Funebre per Duccio Galimberti", for tenor, bass , trombones, timpani and string orchestra (I heard it twice in actual concerts).
Some additions to the discography:
-the 1926 "Partita" (IMHO a magnificent work) exists/existed on an AS disc Cd ( Cantelli, NBC)
-The 1931 "Pezzo concertante" exists in a Cantelli NYPO 1949 performance (ASdisc and Stradivarius)
-The 1933 "Marinaresca e Baccanale" by de Sabata and the V.P.O. existed also on Nuova Era
-The 1943 "Concerto Spirituale" exists on Stradivarius
-The 1943-1945 "Concerto dell'Albatro" exists on Bongiovanni and on (the very niche) "Pro Civitate Christiana"
.The 1947 Concerto "Il Belprato" exists on Stradivarius and on Essay
-The 1951 Concerto "L'Alderina" exists on Stradivarius
-The 1953 Musica da Concerto exists on Essay
-The 1958 "Sonata da Concerto" exists on Stradivarius

Thanks, Alberto

The music on the Italian cd labels is not easy to identify or locate

Many thanks, I had no idea that the (second) symphony from 1965 was left unfinished. Has anyboy heard what exists of it, or the (first) symphony from 1935, for that matter?
