About this product

Goffredo Petrassi was 28 when his Partita (recorded on Naxos 8.572411) propelled him to European fame. He fused neo-Classicism with more contemporary traits reinforced by his mastery of polyphony, qualities that can be found in his eight Concertos for Orchestra (Nos. 1-3 are available on 8.573702). Concertos Nos. 4-6 were written in the mid-1950s and are striking examples of emotional turbulence and structural compression, fastidiously scored and imaginative in their formal conception. The soloistic writing of Invenzione concertata (Concerto No. 6) adds another layer of sonic complexity to these gripping concertos.

Gautier Capucon - Destination Paris   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Destination Paris is a concept album from our best-selling core classical artist, following the success stories of Intuition (84,000), Emotions (145,000), and Sensations (63,000). Well-known lean-back repertoire from popular film melodies to French chansons to classical pieces - including InchLa FouleInch by Édith Piaf, the main theme from Summer of '42 by Michel Legrand, InchBeau soirInch by Debussy, Sicilienne by Fauré, and InchChi MaiInch by Ennio Morricone. Recorded with pianist Jérôme Ducros, the Maîtrise de Radio France, and the Orchestre de chambre de Paris under conductor Lionel Bringuier. Jean Jacques Goldman, one of France's most popular songwriters and composers, wrote a new song for this album, InchPense à nousInch, for cello, children's choir and orchestra and made a special arrangement of his InchEnvole-moiInch. Paris will be a worldwide destination in 2024 as the hosting city of the Olympic Games, for which Gautier's album will be the perfect soundtrack.

Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma - Petrassi: Concertos for Orchestra Nos. 1-3   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Goffredo Petrassi's reputation was established in 1932 when his Partita (available on Naxos 8.572411) won critical acclaim. Petrassi then composed his Concerto for Orchestra, the first of eight, which, upon it's 1935 premiere, secured his reputation outside of Italy. The Second Concerto from 1951 reveals more avante-garde tendencies, while the Third Concerto from 1952-53 is animated and playful.
