About This Item
On it's latest CD the Consortium Classicum presents entertaining Italian serenades by Rossini, Righini, Paisiello, and others. The term 'serenade' derives from the Italian word serenata, which designates a musical genre of light, serene and tranquil character but with the potential for brilliance and sparkling wit. They are works of fresh and mirthful character, and Righini's Serenade for Wind Sextet, here in a world-premier recording, stands out in this department. In contrast to the other sextets on this CD, this work contains various demanding passages for the horns, which engage in virtuoso dialogue with the clarinet. Album Tracks 1. Allegro Assai 2. Andante 3. Allegro 4. Andante 5. Andantino 6. Allegro 7. Moderato 8. Andante 9. Larghetto 10. Quintet 11. Vivace 12. Adagio 13. Menuetto Vivace 14. Rondo Adagio 15. Finale Presto 16. Adagio - Allegro Vivace 17. Larghetto 18. Menuett 19. Largo 20. Andante Con Variazioni
