About
This CD is concerned with the origins of the musical identity of Goffredo Petrassi (1904-2003). The works date from the 'Partita' of 1932, which won a musician's union prize and was chosen to represent Italy in the ISCM in Amsterdam in 1933; to his orchestral suite 'La Follia di Orlando' from 1945. It represents an example from Petrassi’s relatively brief career of music for the stage.
