Info for Alfano: Suite Romantica, Una danza & Divertimento

Franco Alfano is known today for completing Turandot after Puccini's death. His catalogue of works, which includes operas, orchestral and chamber music, shows him to be a demanding and original composer. Alfano possessed an innate melodic gift combined with a talent for unexpected tonal colours, as can be heard in the lavishly orchestrated Suite romantica, which, according to the composer, is intended to convey "the feelings of two lovers travelling through Italy". From the neoclassical Divertimento to the noirish Nenia from the post-war period and from the lightness of Amour ... Amour ... to the impressionistic and dazzling Una danza, each work shows a different aspect of this versatile composer.
